| 1282967 | 2012-06-20 07:17:00 | What edition of XP Home is it when it is the serial sticker on the side of the case off a big brand PC. Just saves me going thru all the diff editions. Cheers. :thanks: | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1282968 | 2012-06-20 07:21:00 | Home is home there are no different versions of home, XP only came in 3 flavours. Home, Pro and media centre. The only thing is with Pro it needs to be an OEM disc if it says OEM on the sticker, with home it doesn't matter | gary67 (56) | ||

There's also the not so common Home Upgrade CD. |

| 1282973 | 2012-06-21 00:32:00 | XP Home has two editions, Retail and OEM. If it is big brand and sticker on case, then it will be OEM edition XP Pro has three editions, Retail, OEM and Volume License. Again If it is big brand and sticker on case, then it will be OEM edition |

| 1282975 | 2012-06-21 06:10:00 | XP Home has two editions, Retail and OEM. If it is big brand and sticker on case, then it will be OEM edition AFAIK the OEM editions aren't specifically interchangeable. For example, using a Dell OEM key with HP OEM CD's won't specifically accept the key... |

| 1282976 | 2012-06-21 08:06:00 | I think there is a difference too between Big brand OEM and Retail OEM. You can get XP preinstalled on an HP and HP will be printed on the COA sticker. You can go to a shop and buy XP OEM (as long as you buy hardware as well) and it won't say HP or Dell or anything on it. The key from the HP OEM and the key from the 'retail' OEM won't be interchangeable either. |
