What to do with an ole Vista/OS laptop?
The DH got tired of the slooow quirky Vista on her laptop, and it is probably 5 years old, so we replaced it with a new Dell Windows7. OK, that works well, but I'm wondering if I can put the old HP to...

What type of MS product key is this? It's not a retail key or OEM for sure? Most likely a volume License(VL) key? But there are different types of VL keys. Is it a rental license key?
These types of VL keys have specific terms/conditions for use. So what's going to prevent MS from revoking the key at some future date?
I couldn't find any company or owner info on the site? The servers are located in the UK, and the registrant for the domain is indicated in NJ. But is it accurate?
Though VL are legitimate MS keys, buying them from a third party is a grey area at minimum. They're technically not supposed to be re-sold, and are commonly used by custom or volume commercial PC system builders. If you're going to buy a VL key from another party, I'd suggest you do so in person and not from a website which could be located anywhere. Also, the person should be able to provide some type of MS authorized VL doc.
