You would have to buy the oem system builder disks with licenses.

Volume licenses are for businesses, not for reselling.

What you are doing with that Windows XP key is illegal whether it is a geniune key or not.

 

I know it is, but you and i both know there are millions of people doing the same thing. Which is what led microsoft to its different licensing technique. I should probably wait and see where my business ends up. Might just have to buy 1 copy at a time for a while and pass the charge onto the customer.

 

Last I looked the system builder oem Windows 7 home was $99. It's really not that bad at all and actually a really good deal for your customer. I really don't think millions of people do that, maybe for personal and family computers but not when your making a business of it. That's a great way to get sued. http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Premiu.../dp/B004Q0PT3I

 

Thanks for the link, i've been trying to find it for the longest time. And the XP disc i have i has not been used in a computer i've sold. Its mainly been just a tool for myself. Yes i know its sitll illegal, i'm just trying to clarify that i'm not selling these computers and making money

 

You probably already use something similar but I use a WinPE disk for a lot of builds, troubleshooting, loading and unloading drivers, getting to a command prompt when a machine won't boot, fixing bluescreens...etc, It's a free tool.

I use to use BartPE but I don't know that they ever upgraded it beyond WinXP. If you work on a lot of WinXP machines it is handy to have.

 

I'll have too look into that as i dont have anything like it right now.
