Hi I have an older loptop that came with vista can I clean/install/activate vista (it currently has win 7 64 sp1 on it unregistered) then upgrade to win 7 ? I have the product key for Toshiba oem vista THX for any tricks or tips
Yes, that is correct. There was no free upgrade from Vista to Win7.
If you can find yourself a Win7 key then the simplest option is just to use it to activate your currently installed Win7.
I just redid a Toshiba laptop that is maybe a year or two older than yours. Toshiba Tecra M7-S7331 Detailed Specs (PDF)
The hard drive was dead so I had to replace it. I then installed Windows 7 on it. There was no free upgrade path from either Windows XP or Vista to Windows 7. You will have to do like I did and supply a Windows 7 key.
