I had my personal computer looked at by an IT guy at work a little while ago, and he uploaded an 'illegal' copy of windows xp on my computer. The automatic security updates ran through, and now everytime i log into my computer, it comes up with the warning that my copy is not genuine and do I want to 'Get Genuine' or 'Resolve Later'.
I have a genuine copy that I received with an old computer, a DELL computer, that says for distribution with a DELL PC only.
First question - will this still work OK on my HP computer?
Second question - how do I load this genuine copy on - do I have to remove EVERYTHING from my computer, and uninstall the windows, and then reinstall the genuine one?
Im not very computer savvy, but would like to do it myself if possible....
