[HOT] How to Activate Windows XP Without a Genuine Product Key - Sun8 - Mar 25, 2012
If you're trying to install (or reinstall) Window XP on your computer, you may encounter a problem. The product key might not be genuine, the product may no longer be available, or the number of activations may have reached its limit. You may think your only options are to call Microsoft for a new product key or to purchase Windows 7. But there's another option available. Here's a secret to share with you. Keep reading, but keep in mind that doing this is illegal in most countries.
Click on the "Start" button

Find and click the "Run" button

Click the plus next to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"

Click the plus next to "Microsoft"

Click the plus next to "Windows NT"

Click the plus next to "CurrentVersion"

I believe this is against the rules and how is the topic hot when no one has commented on it?

I Can remove the thread or if a mOderator want to remove it because there is the rules, he can.
