  Hi,
  My laptop has just broke and is out of warranty. It had XP installed on it from purchase. It was an Acer machine and has three CDs for recovery - the machine will never recover because I have taken it to bits now.
  
  I have sawed out the piece of laptop that has the XP sticker/hologram on it.
  
  But I can't install my copy of XP on my old desktop from the attic that I now have to use.
  This is because it is not an Acer laptop.
  Is there any way I can install my copy of XP on my old computer?
  
  I can show you the smashed laptop and the sawn-out sticker/hologram if you like.
  
  Please help me as I work a lot at home but need to use XP.
  
  Thank you.
