I finally broke down and built me a new computer and now I have question. On my old computer ( Compaq Presario SR1504x) I would like to know if I can use the folder marked "Windows" for the OS on my new computer and use the key for the old system.

Be nice as I am a newbie and don't know a lot about software.

Thanks in advance.
