need a new key for installation to install my old copy of vista on a new computer. I upgraded windows 7 which was the copy of vista on the pc

And if your copy of Vista was preinstalled on your old computer, it is classified as an OEM license is not transferable.

The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop.

You can transfer a license of Vista to retail, not an OEM license.

See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner
