My computer crashed, the error I got was Windows updates were not installed correctly, reverting changes. It would reboot and cycle over and over. I've reinstalled vista home premium on my 2nd drive but the key I have is for home basic. I do not have a home basic cd, the tower only came with the label. Is there any way around this?

sorry but there is no way.

but there may be hope coz back when i installed windows vista in 2007 i had home premium. during installation it asked me which disc i had. home basic, home premium, professional or ultimate. i obviously clicked ultimate and it worked wonders

Tom's Hardware forums do not support any form of software piracy. To use Windows (any version), you must purchase a license. There is no free version.

If you can't afford Windows, then consider using one of the many free Linux distros that are readily available.
