  Hi!

  I currently have an old asus eee pc which uses Windows XP. The thing is support has ended for Windows XP. So I wonder if I re-install the  OS will i be able to register/validate it? (I might have to from time to time)

   

  thanks!

  Use "Hiren" to create an image backup. Restore the image when needed.

  I do know about creating an image.

  BTW you did not actually answer my question.

  Win XP support end date is 08/04/2014.

  After you re-installed the OS and activate it by phone, make an ghost image.

  If you need to recover the OS, restore the image. You don't have to ask for the activation code again.
