Hello,

I have just bought laptop from craiglist. There is nothing installed, but i found Windows XP professional product key in back and it is readable.

How can i install legal copy of windows XP on this machine by using its own product key?

Please guide me further and thanks.

You will need a OEM version of Windows XP Pro since the key you have is not good for the Retail versions.

Good Luck
