I am trying to load XP Pro SP2 as the key on the bottom of the system says xp pro. But during installation it says the key is invalid? How can I fix?

Invalid product key?

I have an old laptop that I am donating to a charity.  I try to load XP Pro SP2 above, because the key on the bottom says xp pro.  But during installation it says the key is invalid?  How can I fix?

It is possible that you will need to a disk with SP3 slipstreamed in there - much SP3 keys are a new slice that has been issued and is not recognized by the previous discs.

Your machone specifies a level of SP? What is the brand / the exact model?
