Hi all
I bought a Dell PC off a guy advertising in the local paper. It runs XP
Pro SP2, and he appears to have cleanly installed it prior to the sale.
The thing is, my partner owns a Dell laptop and she has a Dell Support
icon on her Start menu as well as a 'Dell' folder under C:. I don't have
either, so does it mean my PC is not running the Dell version of XP that
came with the system?
How can I find out if my version of Windows is legit? Is there a way to
find out anything about my installed OS, e.g. if it's an OEM, retail or
corporate version, full or upgrade and so on? And would Dell provide a
new copy since I'm using their hardware?
I didn't get any Windows CD with the system.
Thanks in advance
