XP Question

Hi guys

I bought a PC from a friend, it had 2000 Professional installed. The boot disks got damaged, so I took it to a local 'puter repair guy and asked him to put XP on it instead, to make it compatible with my other PC.

PC came back with XP Pro on it; can't get it updated 'cos I didn't get a product key with it. However I do have a genuine copy of XP home which I got with my first PC (now scrapped) so can I use that to get this one registered or am I up the proverbial without a paddle?

Thanks

Nope.You can't use xp home key to activate xp pro.

 

the guy who installed it should have the key if not run everest and click on licenses to see what shows up

you can download it free here

Thanks for the replies.

Bill, forgive my ignorance please, but where do I find the relevant "licences" tab on Everest? The only one I found just went to their own licence agreement.

 

on the main page look down the list until you see SOFTWARE click that and you should see licenses click and it will show any software license numbers.

 

Software ain't there, buddy.:banghead

Why oh why is nothing easy? :confused

 

Try JellyBean Key Finder for the registration key. After that it is up to Bill.
