    Can You use the embedded Lenovo OEM key from a 32 bit Vista business install for a fresh install of Vista Business from the 64 bit Upgrade Anytime DVD? I have a new T61 and just ordered a new 64 bit Upgrade Anytime disk. Thanks, I've been viewing this site since I received my notebook. I'm inpressed with the tips and help you guys offer.

    You can always give it a whirl and see what happens. I'd suggest burning off the recovery discs first. If the key don't work which, then you can use the key from the CD and just call Microsoft to activate since you have a valid COA.
