Hi guys,
I bought a broken down system for cheap, HDD is gone, but I've got a product key on the case for XP Home. It's built out of generic parts, with no branding so it's not "obviously" an OEM provided key, so is there a way to tell which it is. Are there different patterns to OEM and retail keys?
thanks,
