Windows Genuine Advantage Not Working On Windows XP

[ComputerWhiz305]

I am trying to speed up a computer for a workplace and they are using Windows XP because they are running some legacy software. When I turned it on for the first time, I saw that the Windows Genuine Advantage tool said that the copy of Windows was not legit, so I used the Microsoft product key changer to enter the product key on the PC case, assuming that maybe someone made a typo using the original installation.

After the restart, Windows Genuine Advantage no longer says that Windows in not legit, but now it comes of with a failure message. Is this because the Windows XP services have been disabled or is there some other reason for this?

P.S. As far as I know, there have been no changes to the system since the original purchase from the manufacturer.

The only entity that can maybe fix this is Microsoft.

WGA no longer works in XP due to end of support. M$ shut down the servers. Your only option would be to reinstall the OS and use the key on the case to reactivate. You can back up the files for the software before you reinstall Windows. M$ won't help you because, as I stated earlier, the OS hasn't been supported for over 2 years.
