I just bought a new PC, and lucky me, I'm eligible for the free upgrade to Vista (which probably won't be to me for god knows how long).
Anyhow, I was running Vista on my old computer (RC2, and the "RTM" that was floating around the net; w/ my RC2 key).
Anyhow, I'm wondering, if I upgraded my current MCE to Vista (using the same CD and key I did before), would I then be able to just change my product key once whomever (HP/Microsoft, etc) sends me my very own CD?
I hate XP/MCE with a passion, and have gotten so used to Vista, but I want to make sure if I upgrade my "new" MCE to Vista, if I'll be able to change the product key to a "legit" (the one I have now expires May 2007) key that comes with my "legit" CD from HP/Microsoft?
Hopefully this posting isn't inappropriate, and I won't get flamed too badly :dead:
