Refund for Windows XP

[Maggie]

My Windows XP would not load on my sorry computer. It was
purchased at Best Buy, and there Tech rep siad the
computer system was insufficient BUT are not authorized to
issue a refund since it was opened . The activation code
can be checked.....it's not been activiated. How do I get
through to Microsoft to get my money back? Thanks

Your best bet is probably to sell it on Ebay,
Most computer stores won't issue a refund for opened software.

Maggie;
Contact Microsoft as long as it is retail and not OEM:

If Windows XP is OEM, contact the seller, Microsoft can not refund
OEM.

If not, then ebay might be a good alternative to recoup some of the costs
(or you can give it to someone as a gift)

Alot of people go with the minimum requirements, which I
don't care what MS says, it's not enough. If you
purchases XP without insuring your system met the
requirements, too bad!
