Do vendor Windows CDs work on other computers?

I found some XP cds that came with my old Toshiba laptop. Can I use them to install XP on other brand of laptops? I want to get rid of stupid XP shit that came with my new laptop.

from what I understand if you have the serial the cd should work fine. I read the cds arent serial specific.

I understand that, but those CDs that came with Toshiba and Dell say that its only for unit that it came with, so I figured there is some sort of validation on them to see if you're installing XP on THAT specific brand and model.

I've been using the CD that came with my Dell for years and it doesn't have 1 single extra application on it... :2 cents:
