I have a Compaq PC at home which has XP. I have just bought a Compaq C310 laptop which has Windows Media Centre installed. I have just made the recovery discs and I have the recovery discs made 2 years ago for the home PC.
I feel that the MCE is wasted on the laptop which is for my son at college. If it was on the home PC we could benefit from the whole media features and photo and movie steaming from the home PC to my XBOX360 which is connected to the lounge plasma
Can I format both PCs and recover them the other way round?
Would the recovery discs know it is not the machine they were made on?
It is not a problem to do this on the home PC as everything is backed up and I do it every year as part of "housekeeping" anyway.
As for the laptop it is brand new and has no data on it yet.
Will this work? I assume it's not dodgy? I do own both operating systems!!
Cheers
