Thanks for your feedback. I have a used completely blank whiped hard drive that I bought. I want to transfer windows XP from older computer to the new one. How do I do it when Microsoft does not provide any disks or activation codes? This thread is locked. I would, seemingly randomly, get one to work, then fail with no rhyme nor reason. Finally, I learned about the OEM loaded into typical office computers, and how its license is tied inextricably to that physical machine; one can create a VM, and likely get it to work on that same machine, but never onto another.
Then, like magic, I got one to work consistently - lo and behold, it was because that used laptop had an original fully licensed XP install, and so the XP OS was not bound to the physical machine in the same way.
It could be passed onto an entirely new one, running Win 7, Linux, or whatever OS had a VM application in place, and happily run no problem. Of course, I have tried to reserve this strategy for isolated programs that need no internet, so I can avoid risks from intrusion as well as inadvertent "updates" which might either introduce unwanted changes, alerts regarding the program's obsolescence, or complications should Microsoft get some feedback about an extra copy of a Win XP being run without another license.
My personal pinnacle of sophistication was creating a VM XP running my desired programs, on a Win 7 Pro machine, accessed by remote desktop from both Win 7 and other XP computers on a secured closed network, all working long enough to last until the close of our small business.
I still have to preserve a viable copy of the two business programs, for the seven years during which any audit might occur, a situation that thousands of other small closed businesses must face - and considering out-of-pocket expenses to update software for seven years in this unlikely eventuality is the final insult we would bear, without workarounds like mine.
