    Hi,

    usually when I get hands on old IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad laptops, the "Windows XP" license sticker says "Lenovo Singapore".

    Is it legal or illegal to install other XP languages/licenses on such devices ?

    And why does it even say "Lenovo Singapore" on the license sticker ?
    Are there other Windows license stickers ? Like USA or CHINA or...whatever ?

    Okay, but I have never seen Windows (XP) license stickers saying "lenovo USA" for example. (?)

    I would say that the Lenovo thing on the COA means it was made when Lenovo owned IBM's personal computer business (Think series).
