Hi! I'm a computer consultant and I often come across Dell machines
that have an OEM version of Windows installed, and I need to run repair
installs on them. I can't use my versions of XP Home or Pro with the
key on their case because it's not OEM. If I purchased an OEM CD,
would I be able to use their key? Does it have to be a DELL OEM CD to
work with a Dell key, or are all the OEM CDs the same? There are alot
of options for OEM discs, I can get with or without SP2, would they
have different keys? For instance, would a key from a Dell that had XP
Home with NO SP2 installed work with a Home w/SP2 OEM CD? I appreciate
the help -- thanks!
