Question about Windows license
I have an older Toshiba laptop that I want to re-image. It came with Windows XP loaded on it and came with recovery CD, but I lost the CD. There is no recovery partition either like on most PCs.
However, on the bottom of the laptop is Microsoft authenticity certificate with a valid WinXP license key.
Can I just download a copy of WinXP from the web and then use that key and activate Windows without a problem?
I really don't want to pay Toshiba $25 for a CD.
Thanks!
