am i allowed to install this windows 7 on my lappy

hi all

to cut a long story short my lad got a windows 7 student upgrade disc from that online student place last year to do his laptop which he longer has (it broke)

anyways my lappy runs windows vista which im happy with but i do like the look of win7 and believe it might be quicker (i dont fancy 8 tbh)

anyways on the disc it says windows 7 32 bit upgrade then in brackets it says
product key required.

im assuming i will be able to use the official vista key that came with my laptop and it will allow the upgrade or do i need another windows 7 key ?

thanks

You need a Windows 7 key.

Sounds like you only have the w7 upgrade disc...Which is useless without the w7 upgrade key..
