Okay, I got a Windows Optiplex 760 for free.
However the thing came with a non genuine copy of Windows 7 already installed when I booted it up.
According to the key on the top of the PC, its supposed to be running Vista Business.

Was reading Dell Recovery Partition – Guide for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 this article, on how to use the built in recovery partition to do a system restore since the Windows.old folder doesn't exist on the PC, nor do I have a recovery disk.
I basically want to be sure that even though the copy of windows 7 is saying activate, I can downgrade back to Vista, so that I can have a legitimate product.
I am also wondering if I would use the Vista or Windows 7 method....

Thanks for the help in advance.
