Default Upgrade XP? to vista Question
Question;
I bought a copy of XP PRO and key for $30 bucks, from a used PC shop and haven't been able to update for the last 6months,
I use to be able to but now when I try to update it says my key isn't legit anymore.

Now can I still upgrade it if I just buy Vista upgrade or will I have to buy Full Vista?

vista upgrade comes with a new key, so you will be able to update.

it wont check your old key to see if it is legit or not.

It almost makes you feel like your in a musical, and everything is fine and dandy, and you're the star.
And then that's when I woke up in my desk cubicle looking out the window. How lame.
