Hello,
I can find several related issues posted here but none exactly matching my
question so here goes.
My question is in short:
Can I use the license key on the side of my PC and reinstall a clean XP OEM
on the same PC without using the rescuediscs? I do not own a XP OEM CD, only
rescue discs!
The long version is below:
I have a Compaq/HP preinstalled OEM win XP that came with 6 rescue discs.
After approx 4 years the system is so slow and also virus attacked and
needed a clean install.
I used the rescuediscs and after several upgrades and reboots all security
updates etc was updated. Appart from that the resue discs comes with old SW
and outdated demos the system is not as stable as before. I boroughed a XP
home CD from a buddy and thought I could use that together with the licence
key on the side of my PC but that did not work. Since I do not own a OEM
windows XP CD I can only use rescue discs that comes with instability and
useless SW.
What windows XP CD can I use together with my license key on the side of my
PC?
