Windows Vista Express Upgrade without Microsoft COA?
I recently installed a Dell XPS710. I would like to obtain the
Microsoft Vista software upgrade from Dell. I used the Dell web pile to initiate this request. I was presented with an HTML form that asked for the Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for the PC. My issue is that the COA is, apparently, printed on a tag that is attached to the computer. This computer is large and heavy, and moving it now would be a knuckle-busting job for me. I am looking for workarounds: 1. Is the COA printed somewhere in the paper materials that Dell sent with the computer? 2. Can I query the COA from the PC while it is running Windows XP? 3. Is there a way to obtain the Vista upgrade from Dell without providing a COA? Failing the above, 4. Where exactly is the COA tag located on my XPS 710? Perhaps I can spy it with a small mirror and flashlight. Thanks for any suggestions! I did manage to write down the express service code and the service tag of the computer. -- David Arnstein (00) {{ }} ^^ |
