Windows Vista OPK

[mkeats02]

Got my OEM version of vista premium, it states on the outside that I need an OPK.

Is this the case?

Also where can I obtain one from without fully downloading the 1 Gb file?

Thanks

I've installed OEM Vista dozens of times and never used or needed the OPK. Just whack the DVD in and off you go If you were actually building systems for public distribution then I guess the OPK might be handy, but for home use? Na. Just install it like normal. You'll never know the difference. Or at least, I certainly didn't

Ignore it, fire on with the install.

The OPK is only needed if you are going to sell the machine on after install. And the 1.4GB file was only ticking along at 40k/sec when I downloaded it last week

Its a preinstallation kit, will let you do all the updates and settings the 'reseal' it as if it is a new computer, asking for details etc.

As said above if its for home use then ignore the OPK, and just run the Install DVD/CD as normal.
