I need a 25 alphanumeric code to activate Microsoft Windows XP Home which was built into my new PC. Does anybody have a new serial number I can use?

When you bought your system there should have been paper work with it, in there you will find the key, other times like in the case of dell, they put a sticker right on the pc with that number... if you got it legitamately, you should have been supplied the number, if you weren't, then i would raise hell with the place you bought it from.

There should be a COA stuck onto your PC... a 1 inch by 3 inch label with the key and some microsoft c**p on it. Use that key.
If you don't have a key then your copy is unlicensed. You have to buy a license to get the key and be able to register or upgrade.
If you have an unlicensed copy bought from a commercial location, talk to Microsoft. thay may give you a (discounted) key in exchange for proof that your were sold a pirate copy.

You should call Microsoft. If it's truly your copy of Windows, they'll give you a number to activate it. If it's not, you will not be able to activate it unless you buy a copy. You can buy a copy for a reasonable price (maybe under $70) on eBay.

The installation KEY is on a sticker on the side of your machine.
