If I bought a used computer, no matter who that belonged
-a friend or not - the first thing I would do with it would be to
Reinstall the operating system itself. You do not know how the
computer has been maintained, which has been installed incorrectly.
What is missing, what viruses and spyware, there may be, etc. I have
don't want to live with someone of another errors and problems,
possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc., and I would not recommend that anyone
otherwise do.
Your choice of course, but in my opinion, you're playing with fire if you
do not reinstall Windows properly.
If you do not have an installation disc, you have probably one
installation partition. Contact the manufacturer of the computer for
instructions on the use of it, or buy an installation disc if you do not have
have the partition.
And another point: it is never necessary to 'register' of Windows,.
regardless of the name. Registration gets you right on the list of Microsoft for
the advertising. No registration, activation, is what is needed, and
Activation is not made by name.

How can I get another product key I just bought this laptop of a friend n, she bought from someone else
You can only get a new product key when buying a new copy of Windows.
Check the bottom of the laptop for a sticker with a 25-digit product key. If she says it's for the same edition of Windows that is currently on the computer then you can use it. Otherwise, you can order recovery disks from the manufacturer of the laptop or of a third party as Recovery - Disks.com and restore the computer to its factory condition. Recovery disks don't require entry of a product key during installation.

Why my MBP retina nine come with only 100 GB against 120 GB as shown. (He says 20 GB has been used, but I just bought the laptop) is enough space of 100 GB. I'm not a gamer or anything like that. Just need the computer for College

If you bought the Apple MBP, you have 14 days to swap for a most appropriate mac.
If bought from a different dealer, you will need to contact them about the Exchange / return policy.

First, make sure the taskbar don't are not "locked"...
Right-click on an open space of the taskbar > make sure there is no checkmark at "lock the taskbar".Now, make a left click inside of a space open to the taskbar and HOLD > drag the slider down until he goes back down > drop PREY > lock the taskbar. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

If you already have the Windows XP disc:
- Insert the Windows XP disk into the CD/DVD drive
- Completely turn off the power - the power supply light should be off, without blinking.
- Turn on the computer and be careful. When it says «Press any key to boot from CD...» "Press a key on your keyboard, the Windows XP Setup program is now charging.
