Hi, When i first got my computer a long time ago i was stupid and didn't but a copy of windows but just pirated. Now I am sorry and want to come clean.

Can i use the Genuine Advantage to buy a legit cd key even though i knowingly pirated before or do i have to go and buy XP at a store?

Since you knowingly downloaded and installed a pirated copy of Windows, I would suggest you visit a nearby store and purchase a genuine version of Windows.

Guioam,

Here is a website you can refer to called the Microsoft Buying Guide for any additional information

on purchasing Microsoft Software.
