Can I buy OEM Vista and use it on HP Pavillion laptop ?
Hello.
I totally broke the Vista on my HP Pavillion dv2000 laptop. The Pavillion
is about 1.5 years old. I am going to buy a Vista installation DVD. OEM
DVDs are cheaper. I used OEM versions of WinXP on homebuilt desktop PCs and
never had any problem. Are there potential problems using an OEM Vista DVD
on a HP Pavillion ? Because it is an HP I wonder if there is some
'proprietary' tricks they have to keep you from using an OEM disk.
Also, are some OEM disks made to install on only one kind of PC ?
Please tell me what you know. Your help may save me a lot of trouble.
TIA
