Uninstall Vista Ultimate

I recently purchased a new computer and want to uninstall Vista Ultimate from
my existing computer and install it on the new computer. How do you uninstall
Vista from one computer and register it to another computer?
Thanks

Hi Mountain Roo,

On your old computer, boot from the Vista installation DVD and format the hard drive to uninstall Vista from that computer.

When you install it on the new computer, you will need to do a phone activation since Microsoft will still think your copy of Vista is still installed on the old computer. This will show you how.

Activate Vista by Phone


If need to know how to install Vista then see:

Full version of Vista:

Upgrade version of Vista:

RE: Uninstall Vista Ultimate

If it is an OEM copy of Vista on the old computer, it is tied to that computer.
