I still have a Dell laptop running XP, the installation disk and the XP Product Key from sticker on bottom of Dell laptop.
Concerned that the laptop will soon die, I successfully used the original installation disk to install XP on a more current device for use when Dell laptop finally dies. However I cannot activate. Online activation fails. Phone activation also fails because it does not like the installation ID provided. Despite having the XP product key I don't see where I can provide it. The phone activation process appears to be fully automated (cannot find a way to speak to a human to provide the key).
What is the method for activating? To my knowledge I have a legitimate copy of XP and just want to install on a newer machine so that I continue to have access to games.
Any help is appreciated.
