Dear All
I hope someone in the NG can help me with this.
I recently upgraded my W2K with WXP. If turns out that
the software I got was a bootleg copy with a Volume
License.
I have since acquired a valid version of the software and
wish to upgrade my computer to this new version without
having to do a clean install.
I found a link that gave instructions on how to change the
product key so that I can re-activate the product using
the valid key. However, the program is looking for a
Volume License Key and not a retail key.
Soooo... Does anyone know how I can change XP to not be
recognised as a volume installation so that I can enter my
retail key. (If this is at all possible)
Or do I have to bite the bullet and do a clean
installation.
TIA
