Hello,
i bought a used acer desktop that originally had windows vista basic on it, but the person i bought it from has installed windows vista premium i am having problems trying to activate windows because of this what can I do?

Install the original OS using the disc that came with the Lappy/PC and then when it prompts for a activation code use the one that is on the bottom of the Laptop.

and then load in onto a disc.
