Primal Posted September 1, 2002 Posted September 1, 2002 A friend of mine LOL .... installed a copy of windows XP from a oem cd... and wants to know if SP1 will work or not on his computer, and he's copy IS activated, it was done over the net... would this mess up Xp if he downloaded and installed it ?
sedative Posted September 1, 2002 Posted September 1, 2002 it probably wouldn't mess anything up...BUT!i'd wait til the official SP comes out on the 9th
Flash Posted September 1, 2002 Posted September 1, 2002 Woooooh, you have to have the original CD KEY to install SP1?! Im buggered if you do... No im not... I got some keys lying around somewhere, lol.
LS_Dragons Posted September 1, 2002 Posted September 1, 2002 OEM installs will be fine - but as Sedative says, wait for official release. The SP1 is only going to check for the 2 or 3 volume keys that have been leaked - those will no longer work. OEM installs are not using those keys.LS_Dragons
Miek Posted September 2, 2002 Posted September 2, 2002 I've found this on the net about the change in Windows activation and Windows Update: Windows XP and Service Pack 1 (I don't know if it's true but it it might be)/Miek
gamehead200 Posted September 2, 2002 Posted September 2, 2002 Isn't 1106 Final? If it is, then why are people waiting for when Microsoft will release it?
