Is it Posible to up grade a riped of copy of XP pro , or must it be a clean install?
I bought a used laptop and it has an illegal OS ,Owner claims thats the way he bought it new from a dealer . Duker

You can contact Microsoft and purchase a legit product key. But if it were me I would simply buy a new XP disk and product key, wipe the drive clean, and install with the new disk.

Then I would have a disk in case I needed to reinstall at some time in the future.
