How Do I Fix Product Key Issue?

===============================

 

I bought and built my computer from scratch. It was a couple of years already but I remember it was from EggHead online.

 

Ah, but it did not go smoothly. I was not used to all the chips and connections and such. But I decyphered the instuctions and I got it put togehter. And it did not run.

 

It took days and the days became weeks. I had to resort to to doing a lot of trial and error and calling up everyone who made each individual part.

 

I considered that it might be my genuine Microsoft Vista installation CD Itself since this was where the process was croaking. So I found another OS CD to give it a try. It still did not work and so I began focusing on other problems.

 

In the end, it turned out to be the hard drive which was still under warentee and I shipped back and the Egg Heads replaced it.

 

Ta-Dah!! Eureka!! I had a working computer.

 

But in the confusion, did you see, perhaps, where I took a wrong, but all to human and innocent, turn?

 

I put an operating system on my computer from a CD that I did not buy!!! The HORROR!!! But the time I noticed that there made a confused switch and the CD that I bought was back at work and I had the one from work at home, I had moved on to another contract and I could not fix the error.

 

 

I have a genuine product key.

 

I need to change the product key I typed in when I first installed the OS to the right one.

 

How do I do this?

Re-install or contact Microsoft Support. Customer service contact info is available on their website under support.

 

They used to have a product key changer for XP. They probably also have for Vista.
