Hi Guys,
A very simple and quick question, I have a laptop which was supplied by a company called Hi-Grade, this laptop has Vista Home Premium on it, It also has office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Publisher); and Kaspersky IS.
Im going to change the OS for a while to Ubuntu, but I don't want to run dual OS's on the laptop. I was also unlucky enough to not be supplied with a reinstallation disk of vista, drivers or office (amongst many other applications) which I am currently downloading. I just want to ask a couple of quick questions relaing to re-installing my legal copies of windows, office, and kaspersky.
Where do I find the product keys?
For vista on the bottom of my laptop there is a nice official windows sticker stating "Vista Home Premium" "Hi-Grade Computer PLC" and a "Product Key". Assuming I unistall windows and reinstall it in a few months, will this product key still work or as its already being used and activated on my laptop now, will problems follow?
I was not supplied the installation disk for office, however I do have a full legal copy of 2007 that states my name on loading, this was set up by Hi-Grade, How do I find out what version office my laptop is running and I assume somewhere in the registry files I could find my product key for this? Is this possible and if so does anyone know where I can find these details.
Thanks In advance. i know its a tall order but Im not going to risk losing all of my legal activated microsoft software if I cant find the keys!
