Hey,

I have my bosses laptop and I can't be arsed to figure out the problem, so I just want to wipe it and reinstall windows. He had vista home premium and upgraded to windows 7 home premium. I used software to find his windows 7 key and it's different from the vista key on the bottom of the laptop. If I want to use my own windows 7 disk to reinstall will the key I found using the software work on a clean install or do I have to install vista then use the upgrade disk?:

Love

Phil

You'll need the upgrade disc but you should be able to boot from it and do a clean install. The existing Windows 7 installation is already activated so that will be enough for the upgrade installer.
