If he's just upgrading, the easiest thing to do is go to the store and buy a windows xp upgrade kit...I think they're a little cheaper than a full version.

Most any major store should have them...walmart, officemax, best buy, staples, etc.

I don't know that microsoft will just sell an activation key...

Yes, you can, but legally you're not meant to.. ring up during activation and say you formatted your computer by mistake ;)
