Title: Activate WinXP ???
Post by: skylane42 on December 15, 2006, 07:19:40 AM

After reinstalling my OS, I get a prompt that says I have 30 days to activate Win XP.  Just what does this activation do?  My XP seems to work ok.

It validates your 'real' Windows installation with M$.. Yes, you install will work OK...for 30 days.  After that you will be locked out unless you validate it.
