Windows XP Pro

[MattD]

Purchased a computer from a small company in FL which
went out of business. It had XP Pro loaded on by the
supplier of the computer. It was a non-key program which
is giving me problems downloading window's updates. My
question is:can I purchase an XP Pro udate and load it
over the existing XP Pro? I really like the XP Pro
program and wish to continue with that version of windows.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, you can purchase the full version and do a repair install to legitimize
the installation. Just use the new Product Key and follow the steps here:
