Why don't you provide a category for digital heritage? In answer to your question: Nowhere on the Microsoft website can you buy XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. Microsoft only sell Windows 10. Edit: We don't work for Microsoft and Microsoft does not look at the XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1 forums here.
It's my understanding that you can use a "generic OEM" version of Windows XP together with the product key on the laptop -- as long as the generic OEM CD is the same version as that shown on the laptop's COA (i.e., XP Home, XP Pro). I've seen comments to the effect that the CD must also be the same service pack (if the COA indicates a service ...
I had no choice but to reinstall Windows. My aunt had two discs lying around for some obscure reason. One was a Windows Xp Home Premium OEM installation disc in a paper pouch without any key, and the other, in those large cardboard packages they sold Windows Xp with, was a Windows Xp Professional disc and a product key, just like the real ones.
Having an OEM licence simply means that a) the licence is less expensive than a retail licence and b) the licenced software can only be installed on the original machine.

It's all related to the SKU number. Certainly, if you right click "My Computer" and select "Properties" you'll see code that looks like xxxxx-xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx. The first part of the number is your SKU, the second part of it is the channel (this is where you'd see OEM). So, some examples - if at the beginning there is a 55277, you Have Home ...
2. Install Produkey and run, it will show the Product ID, which will tell you if it is OEM, Retail etc.., also shows the language (localization) code. You can also copy and paste the code below into the command prompt to show the Product ID. reg query "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion" /v ProductID.
Replied on June 24, 2012. Report abuse. New CDs no longer exist. Since you still have the valid key, what you will need to somehow figure out is how to obtain one of these CDs. If you are lucky, you will know someone who has one. It will work with your key. But it must be genuine, of course! If a friend of yours does have one and if they give ...
Then you are in luck, I have done some searching and found the official Service Pack 2 for Windows XP Professional, x64 Edition - ISO-9660 CD Image File from the Microsoft website. If your interested you may:
