I have a sony vaio laptop given to me when my dad got a new computer. The original OS was Home edition, but he had his friend clean install Windows at some point and Professional was loaded on. The computer is setup very nice....virus control, microsoft office, etc. However, I am receiving a message that says the Windows is not genuine. I have two options: I have ordered the recovery discs from sony to clean install home edition (which i have a product key for.) Or I can pay $150 to license the current Professional version. It seems the professional version is better suited for me because i will be connecting wireless internet in many different places (i am going to college). Also, the vaio recovery discs have vaio specific software (hotkeys, memory stick apps, etc.) In other words i am using a vaio that doesn't know it is a vaio, if that makes any sense. I want to install the vaio software on, so this is a factor as well (will professional allow this is my ?) Sorry its so long thanks!
