I have no disks, but have to get Vista and MS Office 2007 on a new PC from my old. Thank you, Alan

My PC died and a pre-installed Vista & pre installed MS Office 2007. I need (if poss) to bring them to a new PC - is anyone know how? One of the problems is that my then "IT Consultant" active Office 2007 on 3 PC's at the same time, and even though I have activation keys, I know not that you belong to what PC. 2 other computers work properly in order to access the news and maybe by a process of elimination working key that is relevant for the PC dead. Thank you, Alan

Hello Alan HKK.

As Vista was preinstalled you cannot move it to another PC.

A Vista preinstalled (from HP, Acer, etc..) License is called an OEM license and is related to the 1st computer on which it is installed on.

It is related to this PC for the life of this PC and dies when the PC dies.

The licenses of Vista at retail are licenses that can be transferred to another PC.

Like you bought a pack of 3 of the office, you can transfer licenses of office from PC to PC.

To find the office key on PC dead by process of elimination, try one of these programs to check the keys on the other 2 PC.

Try one of these 2 programs:

And read these information from Microsoft on how to replace the software, etc. :
