    Hi,

    I have installed windows 7 RC on my VAIO VGN-FW460.
    I would like to order & install the upgrade kit. However, I don't want to reinstall Vista in order to able to install windows 7.

    Do you know if I must reinstall Vista in order to able to install windows 7? Is there any workaround? How does the upgrade kit identifies my computer? Does it uses the existing the Vista key or do I get a new key for Windows 7?

    Also, do you know whether I can download the DVDs instead of shipping them? I have noticed the download link posted on this forum, but it not clear to me whether it is the same as the upgrade kit (How do I obtain the companion DVD?)

    Thanks!
