I got a pirated version of xp, and put it on a pc that I built. So I'm in the "30 day activation period," that you can use it in without registering. But obviously I want to continue using it after the 30 days.
I don't mind paying for a legitimate copy, but I don't want to have to reinstall and have to reinstall all my software. When you click "activate windows now," it just wants a product key, which I don't have.
How do I buy a product key for windows XP? I've googled, checked microsoft, and can't seem to find the answer. They're busy pushing Windows 7, but so many people are building pc's and using xp, I can't imagine it can't be done. Looking for specific links and info, not "check with microsoft." thanks so much -
