How To Check If My Windows Xp Is Genuine

Try downloading something off the Microsoft website. Like Internet explorer, Directx. There will be a genuine windows screen will come up be before you download the software. If it passes it is genuine, if it doesn't it is not. That is how i always check.
Check whether your Windows XP is genuine (optional). Type the following command in Run without quotation marks: 'oobe/msoobe /a'. If a box appears saying “Windows is already activated,' it means your Windows XP is genuine.

It's tempting to pirate an older version of Windows to replace an illegal copy of a current version. Unfortunately, it's likely just as illegal.

My copy of Windows XP is not genuine according to the messages I keep getting when I log on. I think it affects setting up Outlook because it asks for info I don't have, such as account name, server names etc. Is it possible to get a free download of a Windows version like 98 or older while there is a windows xp (not genuine) on my laptop?

There are a few points of confusion here: for example the fact thatyou can't setup Outlook actually has nothing to do with Windows beinggenuine or not. The fact that you don't have account and server namesis kind of an issue if you're trying to set up an email program likeOutlook.

And you can probably guess what I'll say about getting any versionof Windows for free.

Just because a newer version of Windows comes along, the olderversions aren't suddenly free. Even if you can't purchase thoseold versions somewhere, that still doesn't make it legal or moral topirate copies for free.

So, no, there is no way to legally download a copy of Windows forfree, be it Windows XP, Vista or older versions like Windows 98.

'Just because a newer version of Windows comesalong that doesn't make the old versions suddenly free.'

If you want something for free, you'll need to investigateopen-source alternatives to Windows like Linux.

You can, of course, also legalize your existing copy of Windowsbypurchasing a copy.

Now, about your Outlook woes.

When you set up Outlook to use as your email program, you'll need totell it what mail server to get your email from, and which email serverto use to send your email. These are most typically known as the POP3server for recieving, and the SMTP server for sending. This isinformation that you would get from whatever service you're using foryour email - perhaps your ISP, or whomever is listed after the '@' inyour email address.

But..

If you're trying to set up Outlook for a web based email account -say a Windows Live Hotmail or Yahoo account - you may not be able to,at least not easily. As I've discussed inseveralplaces, web-based emailservers are not inherrently designed to be accessed using a desktopemail program like Outlook. Hotmail users can install an 'OutlookConnector', GMail users can actually access POP3 directly usingGoogle's instructions, and Yahoo users, to the best of my knowledge, areout of luck unless they sign up for an extra cost unofficial thirdparty service.

So if you're using a web mail service, you may not easily be able todo what you're attempting, at least not without some additionalresearch.

And if you're using a 'real' email service, perhaps provided by yourISP, then they should provide you with the server information youneed.

And once again, that all has nothing to do with the genuineness ofyour copy of Windows.

Can I read web mail using a pop3 mail reader? Web based email is handy but limited. Most do not allow direct access using a normal email program.
How do I download my Windows Live Hotmail to my machine? Windows Live Hotmail has no POP3 or SMTP settings with which to download your mail. However if you use certain mail programs, you can still download.
How do I backup my GMail? Relying on free email services - even GMail - can be an unnecessary risk. Fortunately GMail makes it possible, even easy, to backup your email.

If you have a legal copy of Windows on your pc, installed by the pc manufacturer, are you free to use the installation disc they provide to install Windows onto a new pc which you may purchased to replace your original when it give up the ghost?

As I understand it, not always. You really need to check the license agreement, but many pre-installed OEM Windows are not transferrable to another machine. Some may be. Now, as to whether or not you do it anyway is a different matter, since it likely will work.

Just an addition to the above statement which is not totally correct! Yes, there IS an alternate to a non genuine copy! With proper paperwork, legitamate bill of sale from a business, Ebay, etc. You CAN get a genuine copy of XP from Microsoft!
As an Example: I, in good faith, bought a sealed box Windows XP Prof. OS on Ebay. When I tried to authenticate it, of course it failed! It was the professional copy type with the hologram disk etc. With a key that was no good!
When it didn't authenticate, I wrote the seller which did not answer any of my several request to correct the situation or refund my money.
Microsoft had a program (at that time, don't know if it is still active or not), to replace any legitimate buyer with a FREE copy of XP! I sent in the required info and a couple weeks my new Microsoft Windows XP Prof. arrived and I am using it mow!
Hopefully, they still have this program.

The installation disc or recovery disc provided with your computer is only specific to that computer. Why would you want to use the old one anyway? You'll get a new recovery disc or partition with the new computer.

Leo:

I am not in agreement with the majority of comments on the question of 'can you transfer a copy of the Windows operating system to a new computer when the computer that the Windows operating system was part of is completely retired'.

Many of the licensing agreements that I have read states that a given piece of software can be used only on one computer at a time. Some agreements do say that a license is associated with a specific computer. Exactly what this means when a computer is completely retired is not ever spell out (that I'm aware of).

The terminology used in the comments to your article did not include the word 'licensing'. What is being implied by the statements made, is that one purchased this 'a copy of software' - not a 'license'. The terminology used in the agreements that I have read always refer to purchasing a license but this is not the terminology being used by your commenters. With such diversity in terminology being used in the comments, can any of the answers given in the posts to this article be a straightforward 'yes' or 'no'?

The point I'm making is that transfer of the function provided by a single Windows operating system disc cannot be answered in any simplistic way. Whether or not one has a 'authentic bill of sale' is a
