I was wondering if you need a windows 7 license to upgrade from vista. I have windows vista business and I want to upgrade to windows 7 professional. I read how to upgrade on websites and it looks really easy but they don't specify if you use the same OEM key that is activated on the motherboard or you have to buy a windows 7 professional key. Also I have a problem activating my vista license. There was a problem so I had to reinstall it and used the OEM key on the sticker but it only activated it on the computer. It says activated but when I log in i get a welcome screen that says activate windows online and when i press it it gives me a link to a Microsoft website that doesn't exist anymore. I once activated windows 7 on a different computer which didn't give me a link to a website that didn't work it used a wizard i think which i will link an image. I don't know why it is doing that, maybe it can't reach Microsoft online which the internet on my notebook is on.
