Be sure to check the Windows licence before doing this. Some versions of
Windows are not transferrable and selling it on is almost certainly going to
upset Mr Gates. If you sell the PC and **give** the buyer the software, the
original licence document, the original Windows disk (CD-ROM) and give them a
written confirmation of transfer - but do all the above only where the
particular licence will allow this - you might be okay. Take care.
