My 13 year old son installed windows xp home edition on
my laptop (IBM Thinkpad) from a cd that came with a Dell
desktop that we purchased recently. Now it does not let
me acces the oparating system. It asks for a product key
and when I type the one for the Dell it does not take it.
Where can I purchase a product key so I can acces my
laptop? or How can I fix this?
