The best and most cost-effective way to acquire Windows software is preinstalled on a new PC. However, if you find that you have inadvertently acquired non-genuine software, you may be eligible to use the new Get Genuine Kit for Windows XP Professional to get legal.

Who Is Eligible for The Get Genuine Kit?

The Get Genuine Kit is only available for use on fully assembled PCs with a previously installed counterfeit, pirated, or otherwise illegal or unlicensed copy of Windows XP Professional. Your Microsoft reseller can help you determine if the Get Genuine Kit is right for you.

How can I tell if my copy of Windows is genuine? To help you verify that you are using genuine Windows, Microsoft offers a quick and easy online process called validation. Validation takes only a few moments, and enables Microsoft to create a match between your PC's hardware profile and your 25-character Product Key (located on the Certificate of Authenticity), which Microsoft stores and checks against future activation and validation attempts. We do this to ensure that your Product Key is not used by another person in a malicious manner, such as activating a counterfeit or non-genuine copy of Windows.
