pirate copy user but i want reform!!!

Hi all
i am currently running a pirate copy of xp pro!!! BUT i want to change
and become a genuine paid up user, what i want to know is if i buy a licence
key from microsoft will i have to re-format the pc and then load a genuine
copy, or can i just use a licence key replacer program and put the genuine
licence key in, please can someone let me know as i want to get this sorted
out...

All you need to do is purchase a "Full Version"
of Windows XP Professional and proceed with
a "Repair Install".
