Changing the Windows XP Product Key Manually 1 Hold down ⊞ Win and tap R. This will open the 'Run' program from which you can access your PC's registry. I have about 20 computers all with OEM product Keys. I built the first one and installed all updates including service pack 3. I imaged that hard drive via ghost and tried to change the product key via several ways. 'A small application that allows users to easily change Windows XP product key number by entering new valid XP product key into the field provided and the just press the ‘Change Key’ button. Then the application will run the patched activation process so that the Windows is fully activated after reboot.'
Open the Registry editor (Go to Start menu -> Run -> type regedit and hit Enter).
In the Registry editor navigate to:
In the right-side panel open “OOBE Timer”
Edit/Change at least one entry there, press OK and close registry editor. This will temporarily deactivate your Windows. Gta five download pc.
In “Run” type the following command and press Enter:
Activation wizard appears as follows:
Select the option “activation by phone” and click on “Next”. In the next page click on “CHANGE PRODUCT KEY” button, enter a new valid product key, press OK and close the wizard.
Reboot the computer. After the restart type the same command (as shown in step-5) in the “Run” box.
Activation wizard appears again and it shows the message WINDOWS IS ALREADY ACTIVATED.
A new year has started. That’s it! You have now successfully changed the product key of your Windows XP computer.
