re: illegal copy of xp pro Saturday, September 15, 2007 at 9:28 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Dan Sarandrea, MCSE (7096 messages posted) If the computer is a recognizable name brand, when new it probably came from its manufacturer with a MS OS preinstalled--if so, it's very likely that it is still licensed to run that OS. In any case, look for an approx 1" x 3" colorful label on the side, back or top (or bottom if a lappy). This would be the MS Certificate of Authenticity that would tell you what the computer came with originally. 99% of the time you are still legally able to run that OS. Post back and let us know.
