upgrade to windows 7 without vista keycode

[missilemaker188]

I did a clean install of Vista but I don't have my product keycode. I want to go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7. Is it possible to upgrade to Windows 7 without that Vista keycode and just use the new Win 7 keycode?

For the upgrade to work properly, I believe Vista must have a serial entered and be activated first.

yes, needs to be activated to be a legit install
