I have a couple year old Dell Computer that had Windows XP Home on it.
I have the Registration Code but I don't have the original Reinstall disk for it.
I need to do a clean reinstall of XP Home.
Unfortunately, I think at one point in time XP Pro got installed on this computer.
I know that it is going to have to be a Full reinstall since Microsoft won't just back down from Pro to Home.
Can I:
- Use a Windows XP Pro Disk and use my Home Registration Code?
- Use a Windows XP Home Disk that that came with an Acer Laptop and use my Home Registration for the Dell?
- Should I just break down a get version of XP Home?
- Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
