You need an OEM copy of XP which is made/modified by the company who built your computer. If you can find the original XP installation disc (if your computer even came with one) then the key will work. Otherwise the key is useless. I've got an XP Home key on my old custom built desktop, do you want me to message it to you?

Enjoy your laptop, and if you can get an SSD for it, XP on an SSD is insane (when fully optimized for an SSD of course). With my old laptop, from pressing the power button to being on the desktop takes less than 10 seconds.
