when my laptop was purchased it came with xp home edition pre-installed,
since then my little daughter had got her hands on the recovery discs and
broke them,even better than that when i went in to hospital for an operation,
my dads mate was looking at this laptop and he said to my dad he could put xp
pro. on it he told my dad that it is better than xp home, so my dad let him
install xp pro. But i didnt no until i came out of hospital, so when i went
on to get updates the valadition procedure failed, so it works out that this
is a copy of xp pro. The thing is the (coa) is on the back of the laptop
with the 25 digit product key, the question is how do i, are can i take xp
pro of and get it back to xp home without the disc. If anyone can help me
out it would be very much appreciated thank you.
 
You'll need to get an OEM replacement CD-Rom from the pc
seller/manufacturer.
