Hi Guys,
Took some advice earlier in this NG re getting hold of a copy of XP
for an autistic kid.
I eventualy got a copy and a MB / Processor which was very generous
from a local computer firm who do a lot of stuff for disabled people,
so I can build the PC now.
What I got XP wise was a legit OEM certificate of authority sticker
for XP Home but no CD. The license code is genuine and un activated
but I do not have a full copy of XP Home, all I have is an original
XP Home Upgrade version (full retail). Got XP Pro and Linux distros by
the ton but no XP home.
So am I OK to install the old retail upgrade version I have with the
new OEM license code?
I would ask the people I got the license off for a CD but I don't want
to "look a gift horse in the mouth" and all that.
