Installation of Win XP on a different PC

[Jupiter Jones [MVP]]

As long as that license is not installed on another computer and it is
retail and not OEM, install on any computer you choose.
Worst case is a 5 minute toll free call to Microsoft for Activation.

What happens if it is OEM. It is no good?

Normally OEM is permanently tied to the first computer installed and
can never be transferred regardless the condition of the original
computer.
Read the EULA that came with your Windows XP.
Another of the many reasons OEM is cheaper than retail.
