ironclaw Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm thinking about buying a Windows XP Home OEM installation disc...However, once Microsoft chooses not to support Windows XP anymore, will I still be able to activate it?For example, if I wanted to install and activate Windows XP 10 years from now, would it still work?Thanks!

Based on the Vista upgade procedures, it doesn't look like thay plan on shutting down the activation servers anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
