XP AAO ... clone?

I have an XP version ( 120gb hard drive, etc. ) of the AAO. I have it nicely setup for my use ( favorite apps, etc. ) but will be giving it to
my daughter and will be using an AAO that I just ordered ( same h/w of my current one, different color ... I'm so petty ).

Now I have backed up my C: drive with Acronis True Image and would like to restore this backup to the new AAO when it arrives. Will this be a problem, serial #-wise? Will Windows know that this serial # is already used on the original AAO and cause me any grief?

Just wondering, thanks in advance for the comments.

 

You shouldn't have an issue. I've used the same legit copy of xp and serial key to install....9 different times on 6 different machines without issue, so i shouldn't see why there would be any issue

I received my black AAO yesterday and restored the Acronis TrueImage backup from my blue AAO to my new black AAO, no problems. A nice surprise ... the black AAO came with 144 gb of disk, not 120 gb ( ordered from Walmart ).

 

so thats a formatted 160GB
lucky for you.
I really want a hdd one, so I cn upgrade it to 500gb and not worry about storage or anything.
I'm even considering other netbooks, because I wouldnt mind 4gb ram and 500gb hdd (from my research the old eee's could have 4gb and the new ones cant :s)

 

Which old EE's? The ones that used Celeron M?
