You WILL NEED the Windows XP CD to install. The Home XP upgrade can be bought just about anywhere for $99.99 even your local Wal-Mart will carry it.

If it is an OEM version NO. It will only install in the same model computer. If it did work, and Microsoft being such a pain in the b*t you will still need to activate it. Lastly, it is illegal to Install WinXP on more than one computer with out buying a license for the other computer.
