I have purchased a computer with a pirated Windows XP Professional software.
I donot see a "uninstall Windows XP" or anything close to that in the control
Panel. I tried to instaill my own copy of the Home Edition but it says not
compatible. What can I do? I donot know if there was is previous windows on
my computer. I cannot get in contact with the man who sold me this computer.
PLEASE HELP!!

Hi !

How do you know the XP Pro is pirated ?

Most computers comes with legal Windows.No matter...!


Contact Microsft or their authorised partners and buy the operating system
you want. XP Home or Professional...
When you buy ,you need the special Windows CD , the spicial Certificate of
Authenticity (COA) with the special number.
You can check if the reseller is legal in Microsoft web-site in your country
or contact Microsoft by phone and ask them
http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/

Then ,when you have bought the Windows , open the disk ,keep the COA in a
safe place and click on Start-Turn Off -Restart and immediately instert the
CD .Boot manually or automatically from the CD ,follow carefully the
instructions ,install new Windows (without repair) but first format the hard
drive.

While installing ,type the special key written on the COA that comes with
WIndows.
Then ,when all is ready ,Activate your Windows and check if it is Genuie .
