Need to activate my copy of Windows


Recommended Posts

The copy I installed (XP Pro) is perfect for me but had no key with it and is currently inactivated. Please tell me:

If I get a new licence only, not related to my installation, will it work, or do I need to get a new CD as well?

Thanks

Mike

A new license will have to match the XP copy you have installed (OEM, retail, version, date).

A new license costs about the same as a new disk (you effectively get the disk for free by paying for the license). In which case you may as well do a complete new installation.
