RE: Vista Productkey?
When installing Vista it is optional to enter a product key during setup.
The product key determines which edition of Vista you are licensed to install. When you don't specify a product key you are given the choice of which edition of Vista to install however when you go to enter your product key (after the 30 day "trial") you can only enter the product key which is associated with your installed copy.
For example, you cannot chose to install Ultimate and then attempt to use a product key for Home Basic. It won't be accepted.
You won't lose any data - you're given the chance to specify your product key when you do the activation process.
Hope that helps,
Chris
