installing the anytime upgrade dvd
We wanted to install the dvd because we wanted the HP CRAP removed from the
system on a HP MEDIA center m7750n. After 1 week MICROSOFT locked down the computer made us re input the product key off the tower and was told by MICROSOFT it was a pirated dvd. Any ideas y this happened

installing the anytime upgrade dvd
The Windows Vista Anytime Upgrade DVD is only
valid with a "retail" Windows Vista product key. It will not be valid with an HP OEM product key. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience - Windows Vista Enthusiast --------------------------------------------------------------- "Jon Pope" wrote in message ...

Ask HP. Use their live chat support in your HP Help and Support Center.
There should be an icon for it on your desktop. "Jon Pope" wrote in message ... but y did it come with the hp in the 1st place then "Carey Frisch [MVP]" wrote in message ...

installing the anytime upgrade dvd
As I pointed out earlier, the Windows Vista Anytime Upgrade
DVD will only accept a RETAIL product key. If you performed a clean install with this disc, you'll need to purchase a RETAIL FULL VERSION license for Windows Vista Ultimate. http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/re...t=full&tabid=1 The Windows Vista OEM product key affixed to your HP computer will only work with an HP recovery disc or a generic Vista OEM disc.
