Hi there,
I've got an Acer Aspire with Vista Basic and the motherboard died due to =
a power surge.
It's easier for me to replace the motherboard with a new Asus unit and =
re-install Vista.
Is this Acer installed Vista going to let me do a re-install on a =
different motherboard and will the keycode license labelled on the tower =
work with this?
Thanks,
Gordon

The Vista installation or recovery disk you have is probably BIOS-locked
to a motherboard with an Acer BIOS.
If you can get a Microsoft installation disk - for any, presumably
32-bit, version of Vista - the key would work although you might need to
phone for activation.

If not BIOS locked, the motherboard will no longer be an Acer so you
will be breaking the "spirit" of the OEM EULA (end-user license
agreement.) The only way is to try it out. Be advised, you may need
to use the telephone activation option instead of the on-line
activation.

Acer is a cheap, taiwanese C*AP.
If you insist on destroying American jobs and wish to send money China, at
least try Asus or Lenovo.
But better - HP.

And you think that HP computers aren't made in China?

The box and label for the box was made in the USA.

Yes Stan, it was explained more than once. You are an IDIOT.
