Registry Key

I recently bought a used dell laptop from a local high school.  When I turned on the computer it keeps asking for the registry key for windows vista.  I type in the key from the bottom of the laptop and it tells me it is not valid.  What do I need to do to get the laptop working?

See Windows Reinstallation Guide/A Clean Install of Windows Vista:

I recommend carrying out the clean install as the operating system is likely not installed correctly.
