Biggest Problem if WinXP Support Ends

[jaugustine]

Hi,

The biggest problem if WinXP support comes to a "complete end":

Anyone who has to re-install WinXP due to a failed hard disk drive or
un-resolvable issue, will no longer be able to "activate" it.

A solution is to make an image copy of the hard drive or use another
method to backup the entire "system". Note: This is what I have done.

Not true.... Microsoft already stated some time ago that activation for
reinstalls would NOT end, or would be relaxed, when all support ends, so
that installs could still be active and legal.
