i have the same Question, and i have read the answer, but really dont think im getting any further with it.
i too have a Laptop, that i baught in Germany, from Aldi.. its such a great laptop, theres everything that you could ecer need on it.well i have always made my updates, and everything was fine, .......... until...... i dont know what went wrong.
i have on this lap top Windows XP Pro.......... but i really cannot explain, but on the back of my laptop.. is Windows Home edt.......... how the hell did this happen? and now i do not recive any kind of updates, i cant even play a pc game, as i need the actual Direct X 9.0...... and i too am not really to happy about even the thought of buying a new Vista or what ever...... is there anything that you can do for me? or advice.. i have no cds here anymore what so ever.. only an Original Windows Pro that doesnt belong to this laptop.
is there anyway i can down load my Windows Home version.. without having to pay. or maybe a new cd? as i said., i have my code, there is no problem in that area.. and it was after all.... 3 years original.. and then it wasnt.???
please help me.. im going mad here.
Thanks
