Last week sfc reported errors on my Vista Home Prem. but would not repair the
files. I was told on this msg board to use my upgrade disk to "Upgrade" and
fix the system which worked.
After the upgrade reinstall the Product Key would not activate Vista. I had
to call and I gave them numbers and they told me what to type in. After it
accepted the activation the help line said that there were no new product
keys that I needed to write down.
My question is how do I check to see if I still have the same Keys as on PC
sticker?



Thanks
Jon

Hi,

You used the same key for installing, so it won't change. They just needed
to use a new activation code since it was previously activated, they are not
the same thing.
