I have gotten my hands onto two Windows XP laptops. An HP Pavilion dv5000 and a Dell Latitude D830. i wanted to put a newer version of windows on them but when I entered their product key on the bottoms of each one they said that the product key was invalid. The laptops product keys are most certainly valid since they were both running the original windows XP without even a service pack change. please help. I wonder if I could get the older product keys updated to the newer one since i would have liked to install windows on at lest one of them. currently I am using Linux-Mint and Lubuntu with them but I would like to get this fixed soon as the school year is starting soon.
