How to Locate My Windows XP Key Code
- 1). Locate the Windows XP product key code on the compact disc case that the software comes in. The case will have a sticker on it with this information.
- 2). Find the Windows XP product key within the Microsoft Windows manual that you receive with the computer. The sticker with your product key will be on the manual.
- 3). Look for the Windows XP product key number on the back of your computer tower if you have a desktop, or on the bottom of your laptop.
- 4). Contact Microsoft support (see Resources) for a replacement product key if you cannot find your Windows product key. As of 2010 the cost of a Windows XP replacement key is $10 and the support person that you contact will give you the new key over the phone.
