    Hi all.

    As the title suggests really. i bought a copy of vista ultimate to put on my desktop. Ran it for a while but my pc wasn't quite capable enough so eventually i took it off. I'm now in the market for a new laptop and since i essentially have a copy of vista i'm not using i thought i could save myself some money by buying a laptop without an OS and installing the one i have. Only issue i was wondering about is wether or not i will be able to install my copy of vista, or will it stop me saying it has already been registered? If this is the case, how to i go about solving this problem?

    Thanks all

    Ollie

    no you can still use it but i would recommend you call them and activate it because everytime you do it othey record it if you do it on the internet
