Technically (legally), the copy of XP that is on the Dell must stay with it, but it CAN be reactivated on a new computer and nobody is going to complain if you wipe the Dell. The easiest thing to do is give the Dell to your parents with the XP disk you have, and buy another copy of XP for your new build.
