Is there a particular reason you are wanting vista? Microsoft stopped supporting vista, meaning that it will no longer receive updates. Given that and the age of the OS security and compatibility could be not so good

Download this and see if it shows your product key and then write it down. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

Be warned though if the system was cracked and it's not an authentic key, then it's not going to work for a reinstall. I would highly suggest sticking with 7 or going to windows 8 at the least. Windows Vista is TERRIBLE! I would even go Windows XP over Vista as bad as that sounds.
