Need help with finding/getting my Orginal XP Home CD-Key
Well, First of all I'm new here. Yes look to the left 1st post. I'm Omar, From Sydney, Australia.
So here is my PROBLEM. I have an orginial version of Windows XP Home which i bought from the shops. Now i have used and re-formatted my old pc a few times with it, And thrown my old pc out. Now the real problem is... ...I got a new pc, lost my CD-KEY sticker/tag for my original XP Home. This new pc has an illegal copy of Windows XP Pro installed on it. I need a way to get my orginal XP Home CD-Key. HOW? I don't know. That's why I'm here. Infront of my eyes right now i got the Orignial XP Home and the Illegal XP Pro. Not that Illegal Xp Pro is installed on this computer, Till i get my Orginal Xp Home Cd-Key. How do i get it?. Thank you hope you guys help and reply As soon as possible. |

Can't be done if you don't have the old computer, sorry. If you can get it back and it will still boot into Windows:

Nope. It's the sticker you paid for, not the CD. It's just like losing a $100 bill.

haha. Oddly enough GLC is 100% right. Microsoft propbably does get some crazy requests for a Key back. That keyfinder is the only way. It does work.

If you lost the key you have to buy a new one, unless you can get Microsoft to give you a new one.
