It may or may not - you're asking about P2V tools and licensing all in one
(in another ~800 days (iirc), licensing won't be as big a deal since Win XP
will be past support - but I digress)

If you can do a physical to virtual conversion, then you're good to migrate
the laptop into the VM.

However, if you don't then clean off the laptop, you may be in an
improperly licensed situation.
Whether or not you "care" about that is up to you, but it's worth thinking
about :)
