yes and no on the windows xp the windows xp that is on the laptop was
installed on the the laptop first then they made the back up of it . the
2nd thing is you could use a vm from sun and install the windows in it
if you know anyone that has a copy of xp you can use it then just use
the reg code that is on you computer the code will work .
