windows xp pro

Hello
I have bought a computer with an illegal version of windows xp pro, i have bought a new windows disk and would like to install without changing anything on my computer, what is the best way to do this? Can I exchange the cd key itself ?

Thanks for any help

Just use Magical Jellybean to change the CD key to your legal one.
