Welcome to the Gamingforce Interactive Forums.
GFF is a hellhole full of elitists who chat about everything EXCEPT games. We have a team of dedicated moderators who will ban your ass on the slightest provocation, constant member-organized activities that you are not allowed to participate in, and plenty of custom features, including our unique journal system where you can post entries that will be completely ignored. If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ or our GFWiki. You will have to register before you can post. Although membership is completely free (and gets rid of the pesky advertisement unit underneath this message) we do not recommend that you sign up, because you will get kicked in the nuts repeatedly.

Move OS

Ok I bought a Gateway series model PC that had Windows XP. I just built a new PC and I want to move the license and save $100, is this possible? Every website I check seems not in favor of it working...

No. OEM licenses are tied to the first machine they're installed on. What you're proposing is illegal.

Crap. Well that kind of sucks, but I'm going to school in the fall and I hear software is cheaper through them so maybe I'll wait.

Thanks for the help.
