Hi all,
I have a Desktop machine running Windows XP Home which has failed and
is being replaced by a new notebook computer which will have XP Home
also.
Is it a viable proposition to image the OS from the dead Desktop to
the new laptop and then run a Repair install? Or is it better to just
start from scratch? (The HDD is fine in the Desktop. The Motherboard
is what died.)
TIA
Rob
