Can the WinXP License on Thinkpads be sold?

#1 Post by simms » Mon Apr 24, 2006 8:37 pm

If I already have my own, legal version of WinXP, can I sell off the one that comes with my laptop?

Thanks.

No. That OEM copy of XP lives and dies with that thinkpad. Only retail, full priced copies of XP have that ability.
