Installing Windows On Computer For Sale...

[cheetor1981]

Hey all,

 

If someone wanted to build computers as a small business and sell them locally......can one purchase a System Builder copy of XP and install it on multiple computers or would you have to purchase a new CD for installation on every computer you were selling??

 

Any & all help/advice is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanx.

You'll need to get OEM copies, as you have to give the user a disc, and affix the sticker to the system chassis.

So basically you can purchase a System Builder OEM from NewEgg, install it for them, then they get the disc when all is said & done, then you purchase a new disc for the next computer sale?? Just want to make sure I do it right if I decide to go through with the thought.

yes and if you do it right...you'll never even have to open their copy...just put in the code and attach it to the case and preload the software....works very well...
