You have two choices:
1. Purchase a Product Key for the Vista version you upgraded to:
Windows Anytime Upgrade: frequently asked questions
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...41b981033.mspx
or
2. Read the User's Guide that came with your new computer and follow
the instructions to perform a "Full System Recovery".
