I finally got Vista Home Premium (Upgrade Edition) and after a bunch of fumbling around and a bunch of nonsense my HD was whiped clean of XP and all other files. When I first started up the computer I was met with the message "NTLDR Not Present" or something to that effect so I restarted the computer and pressed F8 to get into the force boot menu where I chose the DVD drive that Vista was in. I decided to follow the steps of going around the upgrade and doing the full install and I didn't enter my product key and I hit next. This is where I got a message box with a message saying something like this:
"If you choose not to enter a product key you may have to reinstall vista later, and may lose programs, files, folders, and may have to purchase another version of Vista."
^ That message worries me and I'm not sure what to do.
There are "Yes" and "No" buttons and an Exit (X) button. Should I hit the yes or the no or should i hit the x and enter the product key? What should I do? I don't want to have to go out and buy another version of Vista.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read and respond!
