Please note this topic is just "In Theory", honest.

If someone, not me, was to have a COPY of WindowsXP, not me, ahem. Then how can Service Pack 1A be installed?

I have been onto the WindowsUpdate.com and it lets me see all available updates, all 44 Critical Ones, and I assume I can then download but didn't try.

If I try to install Service Pack 1A it wont let me, cos its a corporate license copied I think. Not that it's me were talking about here!

So, how can I install XP SP1A and can I still use the WinUpdate site to download?

So, does anyone on this forum have a legal copy of XP, or do we do all our shopping on Kazaa?

All gone though.

I, from, erm, studying such a matter, though not in practice, know of a program that allows you to change your serial to a randomly generated serial key.

And heh, I had a feeling that this'd be what the topic'd be as soon as I read the title.
I expected something like, "Erm, yeah, not me, but a 'friend' has a copy, and erm, it doesn't allow him to update/instal SP1..."

:-D

I'll try and find the file for you.

As long as you promise me that your copy is merely a backup, and that you bought it.
I'm gullable. Don't worry.
