I just built my new computer like three weeks ago, I am using the OEM version of windows xp pro that came with my old dell laptop. Now I only have like 11 days to activate windows on my new computer and the product key that was used with my dell laptop obviously doesnt work. My question is there anything I can do to get this setup to work? If not, how can I keep all my programs and settings on my computer like they are now if I have to install a new windows xp pro cd. Because they are saying that I cannot buy an extra license for an OEM copy of windows. I have my comp. setup just like I want it and I really dont want to lose it all by intalling a new operating system. Any help would be much appreciated.
