Yesterday I finished doing a clean install of Windows 7 Professional Sp1 onto a very recently acquired Dell Latitude E6500 which had Vista Business on it. I did a custom install (using a Dell OEM Win7 Sp1 DVD) instead of an upgrade, because there was no installed application software or data to save.But when I went to activate the newly installed operating system, at the Start Menu, right-clicking Computer, Clicking Properties, scrolling down to the bottom of the window to get to Windows Activation, I discovered that there was no Change Product Key link. Instead, I read that "Windows is Activated."But at that same location I also read "Product ID: 00371-OEM-8992671-00524," and I can't find any such number on the Microsoft Certificate Of Authenticity that came with the Dell OEM Win7 Sp1 DVD, or on the DVD itself.Nevertheless, is it possible that somewhere during the installation, Microsoft automatically activated Windows 7 Sp1?If that subtle activation is not possible, what do I do next?Thanks for any comments, suggestions, or answers!R.N.
