HELP!! Windows XP Product Key?

Question

I bought my laptop from a pawnshop about 7 months ago and it hs worked fine up until today when I tried to log on it said unauthorized product key code or something. I have tried the one associated with my laptop and it keeps saying the same thing! I can not afford to get a new Windows pkg right now, is there places to download one for free or is the help for the one I have?

It came with everything preinstalled so I don't have any CDs

Answer 1

Unfortunately you cannot download windows XP without product key for free.

Check with microsoft site about your key details (back of your laptop) and probably they would be above to help you out.

Answer 2

you can look on the bottom of your laptop and if its not there you buy them at shops for around 150-200 $ but never use anyone elses code or your computer wont work again

Answer 3

Most times that isn't windows asking that,it's malware,or a trojan.Download these and run full scans,both are totally free.

Answer 4

Usually, Microsoft will give you an 800 number to call, and will ask you for the codes on your screen where you see the error message.  They *may* give you a new key over the phone.  Give it a try.

Also if you can sign on, you can use this utility to find the key stored on your laptop:
