As part of the installation process, you will need to provide your Vista product key, which is usually located on the back of the Vista CD case or inside the Vista envelope. Be careful not to lose or misplace the product key; you will need it later if you need to reinstall Vista.

  2. Click the ‘Next’ button.

  3. Accept the terms of the license by placing a check mark in the ‘I accept the license terms’ box.

  4. Click the ‘Next’ button.
