XP Home Replace

I just bought a refurbished machine that included XP Home.  I currently have both XP Pro and W2000  Server, I would prefer to replace the Home with one of these.  Can the Home loaded on the Dell machine be move to another machine I own?

    Legally, no, the copy of XP Home is licensed for use only on the computer with which it was sold. Practically, probably not. If the other computer is a Dell the OS will probably install on it satisfactorily but you are likely to encounter significant difficulty attempting to activate it.
