Here's my story. I bought a Gateway laptop last fall with the forms for the express upgrade to Windows Vista. I got tired of waiting for my upgrade disk to show up so I bought an OEM copy of Home Premium and installed it on the laptop. I never input the activation key as I knew I had 30 days to try it before I had to. Well low and behold my Express upgrade DVD showed up in the mail today. So I put the activation key from the Express upgrade into windows and it activated with no problem.
Now comes my question. I used the OEM disk to physically install Vista onto the laptop but the Express upgrade key to activate it. Now I have an OEM disk and activation key that are "unused." Will this cause a problem if I install the OEM disk on another computer and activate it with the OEM key?
Thanks
Trevor
