In relation to the above, I think I should mention that the copy of Windows
Media Centre 2005 is an OEM copy. I've done a bit of searching and it appears
that it is bound to it's first installation. However, as this isn't wholly a
new PC will I still need to buy a new license? It would be a real frustration
to have to replace my license, especially when it's bound to an old
motherboard which will shortly be in the bin.
Many thanks
