I have Office XP (OEM version, came installed when the PC was
purchased, so no installation CDs) on an old Toshiba notebook PC with
a busted LCD screen.
I would like to move that installation of Office XP (or at least,
Outlook XP) to my new Toshiba notebook PC with no MS Office on it, and
de-commission the old Tohiba notebook PC.
Is there some way to do that?

No. OEM versions die with the system you got it with.

No. OEM's are good only on the OEM machine. They are offered at a
special price to OEM manufactures.

Not legally. OEM licenses are tied to the PCs with which they were sold.

And if the OEM was bought without a PC?

OEM licenses are tied to whatever hardware with which they were purchased.
You can't by a legal OEM license on its own.

Not if it's an OEM license being sold by itself without accompanying
hardware (disk drive, motherboard, PC, etc.).
