Thread: Win XP product code required

XP Professional O/K?

There were a lot of iterations of XP in its lifetime, plus OEM, corporate, education, and individual retail products. The setup process is prone to rejecting the product key if there is a mismatch between the key and the software being installed. Also, the majority of corporate and education licenses have been canceled when the company or college has upgraded and will either be rejected outright or repudiated by MS within a day or two of being setup if the machine is to be used with internet access.

Ideally you need to find a retail package with its original installer and key, or an OEM package with key and matching backup/reinstall disks. Mixing and matching software and keys is not really a viable option.

Do you have an original copy of XP? If so use the installation and registration info that was supplied with the program.

If you have a pirated copy then please don't ask on here for help as it's a breach of copyright and not legal even though it is outdated and unsupported.

Probably cheaper to buy a new computer preloaded with Windows 10 than to pay the fine.

For under $10 you can purchase NEW XP, XPpro, etc. >CLICK HERE!<

Do it legally and save the hassle.
