Quackers Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Had somebody at work ask me to fix their PC, it needs Windows re-installing, they have no discs, but it has a Windows XP Home OEM Key on the side (sticker). Obviously our media will not work, and Microsoft do not have the Home XP for download in the Volume Licensing centre. How do i get hold of XP Home OEM? Obviously nothing illegal as she has a licence, and its the licence you buy not the media....... had a look on torrents and they all seem to be pre activated versions which i do not want i want to use her legitamate key.
Arthur Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) they all seem to be pre-activated versions The filename and checksum for the genuine unmodified XP Home OEM ISO is as follows... [b]en_windows_xp_home_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_x14-_OEM_.iso[/b] [b]SHA-1[/b]: 7f395b9ec84cffcc43c855bf89ab91ef3bfad612 [b]Size[/b]: 564 MB (592,150,528 bytes) As long as the checksum matches whatever you download, you can be 100% sure it isn't a dodgy version.

kevbaz Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 just use a pre activated one then change the key using jellybean or something of that ilk?
