To activate XP you just need to phone Microsoft on the number given. Its an automated service. As long as you have a valid key of course.

Yeah, but do you need to phone Microsoft directly, like the american hq? Because I am not from America and I think it would be pretty expensive to call there.

@the1990kman no. I am in UK and the activation wizard gave me a UK number to call
