Hi, I have a home pc (which came with restore disks instead of a copy of
windows) and a laptop, bought from Tiny before they went belly up, which
also came with restore disks as opposed to a copy of windows.
The disks for the laptop have disappeared, and I now have a problem. I need
to reinstall windows onto my beloved "Lappy". I must confess, I do posess a
copy of win xp pro (with a slightly dodgy serial number) but I would prefer
to install a valid and legal copy of windows xp (preferably XP Home). I
have a sticker with a valid serial number on it for xp home, but need to
know if I can just download a copy of xp home (we all know they are
available on many p2p software programs) and input my valid\serial. Would
this work?
If I wrote to microsoft could I get a copy of winxp?
failing that does anyone know where I might get a copy of the original
restore disks?
Thankyou for any assistance in this matter
