Change WinXP registration key?

B

BigBen

Hi All,

1) I bought a new computer some time ago, and a copy of WinXP Pro. I
was getting access to all updates from MicroSoft;
2) Then I had a hardware problem, which resulted in the reseller
reformating my hdd, resinatalling Win XP Pro, but ... entering a
diferent registration key from the one I had before;
3) Now, Windows update tells me I do not have a legal copy of WinXpPro
installed, so I can not have access to all Win updates, only the
critical ones.

Q: How do I change the bloody registration code, and enter the one I
got when buying the PC, so that I get all the updates I'm entitled to?
(Yes, I am trying to avoid having to reformat my hdd, and reinstall
WinXpPro plus all_the_other_software_I_use, and configuring the whole
bloody system again...)

TIA,
JBR
