Like so many of my readers, I’d lost, misplaced, or just didn’t feel like looking for the actual Dell Windows XP Home disk, particularly since I had a old pre-SP1 retail disk (purchased from the Microsoft Company Store) in front of me that I’d never used. The product key for XP Home that was installed on it is on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop. Now, here is the only confusing factor: the machine is a Dell, and came with Dells OEM version of Windows XP Home pre-installed. Today I decided that this was the machine to use for a new employee at my wife’s business. I used it as a testbed and installed Ubuntu Linux on it, played with it for a bit, and then left it to sit in a corner. I’d loaned the machine to a friend for a while who’d recently returned it. It came with Windows XP Home pre-loaded from Dell. I have a Dell Latitude 131L that’s perhaps two years old. ![]() ![]() Become a Patron of Ask Leo! and go ad-free!
