| | Vista Ultimate Reinstall I have had a retail Vista Ultimate installed for about 6 months now. I am on the eve of buying/building a new computer. I will be reformatting the old box and putting xp on it. Than of course I plan to install my Vista Ultimate on my new box. Is there any steps that can help me transfer my license to my new box when I am ready. I'm not a Vista wizard so I am not sure if there is maybe something I can do to tell it I am moving it over to a entirely new computer before I do it? Any tips or suggestions or links would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance Chris |
