have blue screen and key for xp home Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, I have a lap top that I tried to fix with xp pro but the key on the back is for xp home so now I can not even get the computer to start up. What is the best way to fix this? I also bought this lap top with pre loaded soft ware, so I didn't get a restore disk. Do I need to buy another disk to install and start over?



Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 9.0

*Double-click the utility will then check the system files. 

*Enter the official key and click Next.
