Hi,
I currently have Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 running on my PC.
I bought a Windows Anytime Upgrade form a seller on eBay last week. When I
bought it, I thought it was just a "normal" uprade but it was "Anytime".
Before installation I read through the elp and support file on the DVD that
tells you ehat to have ready.
On one bullet point it says, have your 25-digit product key available. This
upgrade doesn't have a key with it. On the back of the cover it has an EPN
number and a GPN number along with a bar code. (What is this?). There are
no other keys to be found anywhere. On the DVD itself it has a warning
saying "Only valid if equipped with original Computer. Sale or repruduction
of this copy is unlawful" or something like that.
I don't want to try to install now because I fell like at one point I will
be stuck with Vista asking for a key that I don't have, and then XP has
already been erased.
What should I do here?
