Using Vista Home Premium Upgrade to "upgrade" OEM version

[Bob F]

Working on my friends PC. Hew laptop was dying, so I backed it up and restored
the disk into a desktop replacement. I have a copy of Vista Home premium which I
would like to use to activate the OS in this new machine, so that the PC will
lose nothing from the previous laptop operation. I got everything working fine
after the transfer from the laptop. Now, I need to replace the activation code
(and OS?) to make it legal. Can anyone suggest the best sequence to accomplish
this?

If you're trying to do what I think you're trying to do...

Computer -> System -> Change Product Key (lower right corner).

I worried that I'd have to actually load the Retail program, but was happily
surprised that just changing the key did the job and activated OK. Thanks.
