Hi all, Sorry if this is a stoopid question. I have been given two desktop computers that were each supplied with operating system when new. The Windows licences are valid for just those two machines.
The previous owners have since scrapped the two computers, and gave them to me. I have the machines and even the licence, but the previous owner used a hammer and nail to prevent the hard disks being re-used (to protect sensitive information).
Q
Since I have the computers and the licences, is there any way to get the operating systems installed in these two machines without having to buy two new XP installations? To buy them would cost me SEK3000, which I do not have.
At the moment I am running UBUNTU (cos its free), but I would much rather have WinXP running on these two machines.
Best regards - Harry
The previous owner didn't give you the CD's ?
I guess they might have been a restore partition then.
You might contact the Vendor like Dell or whatever. They may send you new CD's for a smaller price than a full retail copy.
