Tried the key on the Windows label on the underside of the laptop, response is that it is invalid.
Windows Activation offers to sell me a genuine product key with backup media mailed.
That is for Win 7 Pro SP 1 which is on the laptop now, for $149. Windows Activation says well, we can sell you Win 7 Home for $100 but a full re-install will be required.
Cripes, it is worth $49 to me not to have to track down all the ThinkVantage software and utilities, drivers, applications and reinstall everything.
So, guess MSFT will make another $149 off me.
