    Resolved [RESOLVED] Copy of XP?

    I have my key for my software but Gateway said "to bad go buy another OS"!
    Can I get a original copy of my OS and load it and use my key?
    Cheers!

    Only if you can get hold of a copy of an OEM CD. Retail disks won't work with OEM keys, and vice versa.

    An XP cd is an XP cd. So yes, you'll need drivers from Gateway.
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.
