Installing friends copy of XP?

[Phumfeinz]

Would I be able to use my friends serial code to install XP just to my computer? Am I correct in thinking that I would only need my own key to activate XP online?

 

[Trizoy]

To register it... Which means no MS internet updates (new).. Yes it will work fine without the registration...

you may even be able to use ur friends cd-key, since i installed xp home on 2 comps without any problem, and did an activation.

I think you would still be able to get updates because that genuin advantage thing on windows update doesn't work right cause I heard in another forum that some guy passed it with linux
