Vaio with Win7 RC Build 7100 upgrade to release version
I bought a Sony Vaio laptop with Vista and a promised upgrade to Win7 when officially released. To jump start, I installed Win7 RC Build 7100 from Microsoft over the shipped Vista OS.
I just received the promised Win7 upgrade fulfillment from Sony but when I try to install it it tells me that Win7 is already installed (duh.)
Is the RC based Win7 installation that I've built up over the last few months now junk bits or is there a way to use the serial number on the proof of license sticker on the fulfillment install disk Sony sent me and associate it with my current RC installation to make it legal and avoid any future trouble?
I'd ask Sony but they haven't responded to anything else I've asked about so I'm not sure there are any actual people left in their "service" arm.
Thanks,
Bob
