not a genuine copy

[johnwhite24]

Hi my son took off xp pro and tried to install another system( not sure what?). The machine tells him that it is not a genuine copy and won't let him do anything now. Is there a way of starting again and down loading something else? Thanks John W

Buy a genuine copy of the OS or reinstall the original OS.

Of course. Just as he did away with XP and put another OS on, he can do that again - or you/he can purchase a product key from Microsoft for the current operating system.

If money is tight, Linux is free.
