You didn't have to buy a new copy of windows. But if you didn't have the Vista Disc it could be problematic.


Also, for what you are spending, I don't know how old your computer is but I would think you could buy a new machine for not to many more dollars than what you just spent. The last full copy of windows I bought was $199 and for a few hundred more I could have gotten the whole computer at best buy and it would be much better than a three or four year old machine.
