I've recently bought the upgrade to W8, and in so doing, i've also bought a new larger hard drive.
All went fine until I came to validate my copy and was unable to as Vista could not be found on the new drive.
I have an OEM licensed laptop, so was wondering how I go about this?
As far as I can make out, I need to install and register Vista (business) on the new hard drive before I can upgrade, however, being an OEM licensed computer, I don't have a disc.
Where can I get a copy of Vista business to put on my new hard drive? Or is there any other way of validating W8 that I am unaware of?
All suggestions greatfully received.
