Setting up old PC for backup
I'd like to use my old Dell (XP) with no Internet connection, just as a backup. The CRT monitor that came with it broke. I've ordered a flat monitor. In setting it up, would I just plug it in, connect the cables. I guess XP is still on it. I've upgraded my latest machine to Win 7 but don't think I can use it on more than one computer; I might have to buy Vista.Thanks for any help you all can give me in being able to use my old PC just as a backup. ec (I wasn't sure which subject heading to post this in. Sorry.)
