I have 2 days left to activate windows xp home edition, and i cannot find my code. I have no idea what happened to it?
You do not need a code to hand in order to activate - the system will
supply it for itself. Just get on the net then go to
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Activate Windows
and use 'Activate on the Internet now'. It will take maybe 20 seconds.
To find the code against a future need - should you have to reinstall -
get the free Everest Home edition from
http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?page=product&view=1
which is an excellent general System Info tool, and its Operating System
- Operating System page will tell you the one used
Note that if the machine came with XP installed, this will probably give
a key used in producing an original image, then cloned to all machines
they make. So it is not the one for a reinstall. But then the key will
be on a label on the case of the machine
