purchased at Best Buy, and there Tech rep siad the
computer system was insufficient BUT are not authorized to
issue a refund since it was opened . The activation code

through to Microsoft to get my money back? Thanks

Windows XP Setup >> Refund for Windows XP Your best bet is probably to sell it on Ebay,
Most computer stores won't issue a refund for opened software.

Windows XP Setup >> Refund for Windows XP Maggie;
Contact Microsoft as long as it is retail and not OEM:

If Windows XP is OEM, contact the seller, Microsoft can not refund
OEM.

Windows XP Setup >> Refund for Windows XP You may want to see if you qualify for this

Microsoft North American Retail Product Returns

If not, then ebay might be a good alternative to recoup some of the costs
(or you can give it to someone as a gift)

Windows XP Setup >> Refund for Windows XP Alot of people go with the minimum requirements, which I
don't care what MS says, it's not enough. If you
purchases XP without insuring your system met the
requirements, too bad!
