Hi all,

I have an oem Vista64 disk/key which i bought for my GX2 rig.

I want to buy a HP 2500 tablet, but immediately format the drive to ditch HP bloatware.

Will the Vista32 key on the bottom of my proposed tablet work with a Vista64 OEM install disk?

Regards

I just did the same with my Asus M51 without problem - only thing I had to do was to start preinstalled Vista 32bit, install Everest and use it to find product key.

Surely the product key is written on the MS Logo stuck to the bottom of your laptop? :)

My product key from COA sticker = loooooong story (it took me 3 days and dozen calls to activate that stupid PK from Asus)
