I bought my grandkids a nice starter computer for Christmas . It had Wi
2000 on it from new . With the computer I also got a Win XP Pro disc an
COA . I installed the XP pro and noticed the "activate within 30 days
notice . I gave them the computer thinking and not knowing that you d
need to activate XP . I never knew they changed things so you mus
activate . I have not looked at the computer yet but daughter told m
they can't get to windows now (30 days expired) . Evidently you need t
get an activation key to be able to use the system I installed . I don'
know anything about the XP PRO disc I got with the computer , other tha
it is in a big folder with manuals and also an OFFICE Pro disc . Th
computer is NOT connected to internet yet .
Questions : 1: Should I try to get ativated by phone ?
2: Should I try to get an activation code elsewhere ?
3: Is there a way around activating XP ?
4: Is there a way for me to go back to the Win 2000 (
have discs)
Please feel free to PM me . Thank
