[QUOTE="chscag, post: 936295, member: 46727"] If her notebook requires an OEM version of Vista SP-1 be sure to NOT install the MS "for all" version. Check first with the maker of her notebook (HP, Dell, Sony, Acer, etc) before installing Vista SP-1. Also, the same holds true when upgrading to Windows 7. More than likely she'll need an OEM specific version of Win 7 so that it keeps its automatic activation. If you install the boxed version of Win 7 to her notebook, it will have to be activated through MS. Best to go with the OEM version for her notebook. Regards. [/QUOTE]
