Does anyone know how I can validate a version of XP before I load it into my
comp running ME. To my knowledge the version has never been registered as
the wrapper was still intact, although it came with a laptop that had a
company XP build already loaded.
 
Sorry, I am two folders at the same time!!! Disregard what I said about Win
Defender, unless you want to install it!! Didn't mean to try to confuse you!!
 
You cannot validate your XP before installation. Also if you have read the EULA on the laptop (OEM) where it is already installed, you will find that the license does not allow you to do anything with that XP CD again unless it concerns the laptop where it is now installed.
 
It came with a laptop already installed?
There are probably some potential problems.
1. That is the license for the laptop and is licensed for only one
computer, the laptop.
2. Since it came with the laptop, it is probably OEM. OEM is normally
permanently tied to the original computer regardless the condition of the
original computer.
3.
Technological limitations may prevent installing on a different computer
than which originally supplied.

Read the specific EULA for details.
