I have yet to validate my copy of Windows XP

I entered the product key and the message read error "the product key used to activate Windows on your PC is a volume license key that has been blocked by Microsoft." What can I do now? Is it a way Microsoft forces me to buy Windows 7 or is it 8?

A Volume license key is used by businesses and not to private users. You must use the retail or OEM license key (which is usually on a sticker on your machine).

If you do not then unfortunately you will need to purchase a new copy of Windows.

I hope this helps.
