How to Activate Windows XP With Its Key
After you have installed Windows XP, you have to activate it within 30 days. Windows activation confirms that you are using a legal product key and removes the activation prompt. You need to activate Windows XP only once after you have installed it. If you need to completely reinstall Windows or you drastically change the hardware on the system, you will need to activate your copy again.
