| | Some Vista reinstallation questions I've just undergone a major hardware upgrade and now need to reinstall Vista, as the change seems too great for it to cope. I have a couple of questions I hope someone could answer for me: 1. I bought a Vista Anytime upgrade to get from Vista Business to Vista Ultimate. I've used software tools to obtain my new Product Key for installation. Will it be ok to use this when I reinstall (for activation etc.)? It will save me having to reinstall Business and then run the upgrade again. Will the key work for both 32 and 64 bit installations? 2. As I've just had a major upgrade (mobo, CPU and RAM), I've also just reactivated over the phone. Will there be any problems doing it again after such a short period of time? Thanks for any help anyone can offer. |

| | RE: Some Vista reinstallation questions Just want to add that this is not an OEM installation. I have the original disks, which were also used to perform the upgrade. All I really want to know is can I install Ultimate using the product key i've obtained from the current installation? If not, can someone explain the process I'd have to go through to reinstall Vista Ultimate please. Please help. I don't want to be stranded without a working PC! Thanks.
