HI, In 2002 I had a computer built and it came with windows xp home full version. I have decided to seriously update that old computer and had problems installing the old 2002 version of windows on the newer computer that I had put together. I was told that all the hardware was working fine and compatible that the problems was with windows version or the cd was possibly damaged. Okay, so how do I go about getting a nice newer version of windows xp home using the original windows key. In other words, I do not want to purchase a whole new version of windows with I already have purchased windows xp home. I just have a bad disk or need the lastest version to install on the new hardware. Can or will Microsoft send me a disc with the very lastest version of windows xp home and let me use my previously purchased xp key? If so, how do I go about it? Thanks. PS. the computer store said they can install the lastest version using my key (at a cost of 75 bucks!!) but can't make me a disc (to use with my key) for me to have on hand for possible reinstalls or whatever. Thanks to anyone for help Debbie
