I have now cobbled together my stand-by PC, it seems to be working OK so far, and will be adequate next time my main PC dies
I installed Win ME which is not very good, but was the OS I had bought when I first built it. Surprisingly "Windows Update" is not provided for ME.
On my main machine I use XP OEM, which I understand is a single-use licence.
Do we know what will happen if I install XP on my standby machine with the same product key? Will it register and update, or will it stop working?
