Default Windows Vista Express Upgrade without Microsoft COA?

That's true, but that's not the number Dell is asking for in the OP's
original question.

When you enter your information to apply for the Vista upgrade, Dell is
asking for a string of numbers that is on the Microsoft COA tag, but is a
seperate number than the Microsoft Product Key.

The Dell Tag number is sometimes visible from the BIOS update page. Hit
F2 when first booting up the Dell computer and this will take you into
BIOS update page.

If the Dell Tag number is actually on the BIOS page, you can also view it
by using a free utility called Belarc Advisor.

Legally download Belarc Advisor free from he

The Dell Tag number is usually pasted on the top of the computer near the
front cover, but I've also seen them pasted on the either side of the
computer case and on the back side of the older computers.
