|I have recently been given a PC to Repair, from a client.
|
| XP-Pro Has Failed the Genuine Windows License Check..
| Which the customer presumes was done by a relative trying to repair
| the machine..!
|
| The machine Has a Valid License for XP-Home Edition, and I have an
| XP-Home Disk(Not the Original),
| and the customer would Not like to loose the Data on the machine.
|
| 1) What is best way to Install Over XP-Pro,is Re-format required ..?
|
| 2) Will the license Key be valid for the installation from my disk
...?
|
| Any Feedback would be appreciated
| Andrew ;-)
