Talking How do I install Vista??

Yes I know its sounds like a supid question but here goes.....
I brought a LG XNOTE R200 off ebay which I was told was running Vista..
When I received it, it was running XP...... Underneath is the product key for vista, when I tried to contact the seller he was no long available. so im wondering how do I install a copy of vista ,using the product key provided with out having to go out and buy a copy of vista, where all im doing is paying for the product key...


Please Please help me, or lead me in the right direction..

Cheers.

Hey Holdengirl... if the product key on the laptop is legitimate, all you need is a vista DVD to install it. When it prompts just input the key and it will identify the right version to install.

Remember to activate Vista as soon as it's installed to check the it is legit before installing all your stuff else after three days it will lock up!
