Anyone running an HP computer with WINXP?

If so PM me, preferably AMD processor. I need a little favor of you :evildeal:

OK SERIOUSLY!! I know someone on here is running an HP. I need a windows key so that I can fuck microsoft into giving me a new key.

Little bit of advice. Call them. Tell them you are reformatting your computer or your computer guy is doing. You bought a RETAIL version of xp. Tell them your 4 yr old ripper off the sticker, colored all over it, the tower fell down some stairs and you cant read it anymore. Anything man. I have used all those excuses and many more lame ones to get free keys. Just BS and you'll get your key.

Dude if its an HP it has a sticker with the serial number on it, just find someone with an xp cd and get busy reinstalling. Do it right unpartition the hiden partitions, make one large partition and reinstall JUST xp. I do this my everyone, it's called debranding. No more HP crap and your system will run like a normal xp desktop.

how old is the computer?

It's NOT an hp, it's an HP edition of windows or some BS like that. Windows home edition. I like BigTree's suggestion. If I tell them I bought a retail version of xp though, they'll tell me to RTFM and find the sticker in the box lol

It's "XP Home". The HP thing was throwing me off too. Why don't you have the key?

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

I don't have the key because...aw fuck it no one here's gonna tell on me. Because the copy belongs to Circuit City, where I work. And the disc he used clearly said Windows for HP on it...make any difference?

 

[annoyingrob]

Go read a key off one of the floor models.

 

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

LOL rob you're a fucking genius!!

EDIT: I thought you were a genius...I forgot everything's fucking vista now

i live in canada so say you have a cousin that sent you a computer or something.

so if I use this program and find my windows key (which I did), i should be able to reinstall with this key no problems? even if i have that gay ass thing where it says "you dont have a genuine copy" etc.

Evidently Canadian codes are different...ours are 25 digits long! lol

 

[Burntz]

yes they are lol, i used the program that matt posted earlier, got my key, and just reinstalled windows a bit ago... worked

I have an HP, but it has a P4 processor...

 

[foreverpsycotic]

wow, this should NOT be in the open area, someone needs to lock this bitch down and delete it.

back to the topic, there are 3 types of keys, OEM(came on the computer), Retail (bought in store) and volume liscence (corperation w/ alot of computers runnign their own "build" of windows). your key needs to directly correlate to the version of windows that you have, or else it doesnt work.

 

[Burntz]

Yep pretty much, best bet is to use that program to find your key, and use the same key when you reinstall with the same disc.. its what I did.
