I have 6 days to activate Windows XP home on my new computer. I am using the same copy of windows as i am on my other computer.
When I try ot activate it with the cdkey, which i KNOW is correct, it says it's invalid. is this because it's already activated on another computer? But i though you get multiple uses of each OS copy in case your HDD fries, or something.
anyways, what happens if i dont activate windows? i cant get updates, but can i still use it?
thanks
ps: is there a way to get myself a new 30 day activation countdown?
