Hi,

I just tried to install Windows XP SP2 and have found out that the copy of
windows loaded onto my machine is illegal. So I have gone to the shop and
bought a copy of Windows XP Professional. How do I go about activating and
changing product key.

Thanks,

Justin
 
Does it not give you the 28 days to activate it? Dont you see the activate
windows icon next to the time? the 2 keys?
 
You should perform a repair installation f the existing Windows system.

It will request the Product ID during the installation: activation will be
automatically requested when Windows installation is complete.

Make sure thsat you choose to install over the existing Windows as a Repair
installtion.
