Ok, I just bought a 20 gig Gateway P3 933mhz for 60.00.
It appears it had Windows 2000 pro on it at one time and has the sticker with the code for it.
I was hoping I could get the seller to put a copy of 2000 on it for 10.00 additional but they shipped it out to me (local) w/o charge before I could make any arrangements with them.
Since this arrived w/o a OS, can I use a copy of Windows 2000 and the product key on the sticker would still work for this? Or is the key indigenous to the cd?
(it would seem to me that a copy would work w/o issue, I just want to check with people who are more savvy at this than myself)
Ahh, looking about, I guess if the key is registered, you would not be able to use it again?
