How can I change Vista from an old computer to a new one?

Greetings,

I have a copy of Vista, initially purchased several years ago and I would switch its installation of an old computer to a new laptop.  Chatting with a representative of the Microsoft Customer Service (online), I was told that since Vista is no longer actively supported, I have to buy a support package for $99 to do this.  In other words, I bought Vista originally for over $ $100 and now has to pay a surcharge of $99 to remove a computer and install it on another.

This is not acceptable!  Can I erase the hard drive where Vista was originally installed (Macintosh) and then legally install Vista on my new laptop computer?

Thanks for your suggestions!

Hello

Of course, this is not acceptable and I don't know where they get their information.

Are you sure it was Microsoft you chatted with?

You are missing an important piece of information for us well.

The Vista you have purchased a license of selling retail or a system builder OEM license?

If it's an OEM System Builders license, it is linked to the where it was first installed.

__________________________________________

But if it's a retail license, you can install it on another computer as long as uninstall you it from the Mac.

That's essentially what must be respected with a retail license:

"One license of operating system retail, you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

"And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time."

__________________________________________

And Vista has extended support until 2017, then there are still updates are published for safety and Performance and old updates and Service Packs are still available.

Explain what should happen when transfer you the license of retail is that you may need to make a phone Activation and brace yourself for a real person to the.
