Quick question: Wiping Vista off completely installing Windows 7

I'm going to be wiping Vista completely off and installing Windows 7 on my laptop that currently uses Norton Internet Security. I believe it is not an upgrade so I'm wondering how do I go by reinstalling Norton. I have the a 3 PC -1 user software but I'd like to keep the 1 that's still remains for my desktop. (the other is used by another laptop)

 

Thank you!

Hi hazelberry,

 

As you are reinstalling on the same hardware your activations shouldn't be affected.  The best way to reinstall would be to sign in to your Norton Account and download a fresh copy.  Remember to run Live Update,  rebooting where required,  until no more updates are available.
