    You will have to contact Toshiba (in Egypt) and check with them since the upgrade program is country specific. But usually, you send in proof of purchase and the laptop manufacturer is going to confirm and ship you the installation discs and the license keys.

    Your Vista key wont activate 7.

    This is the website for the upgrade program in the US...
    http://laptops.toshiba.com/windows7upgrade-learnmore

    You will have to signup and probably provide a US shipping/billing address. I doubt they will ship the discs overseas but use the contact link in the redemption page and see if they do.
