I bought a laptop this summer with vista home premium 64 bit on it. It qualifies for the free upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit.
My problem is that I am replacing the hard drive and I need to install Vista on it, but I don't have a 64-bit oem cd. I need to install the 64-bit version so it will accept the Win7 upgrade in October.
I have a licensed key. I just need the Vista OEM 64-bit Home Premium CD.
Any ideas how I can get one?
Or does anyone know if the win7 upgrade can be installed as an oem on a blank hard drive, using my vista key? I assume it can't.
