    PC originally supplied with Windows XP preinstalled.
    Vista installed from the "free" upgrade disc available at the time over two years ago.

    Question ? What are the options to reinstall Vista from the upgrade disc without running into activation problems. Will a clean custom install be accepted. So much conflicting info around over this.
    Thanks
