You don't deactivate, you simply install and activate on the new
machine.

You don't de-activate a copy of Vista. When you re-activate it on a new
computer that suffices.

There is *no* de-activation process, per se. Assuming a retail license
(OEM licenses are not transferable), all you need do is remove Vista
from thew first computer, and then install and activate it on the new
computer.

Is your copy of Vista a retail or OEM version? Retail versions can be moved
to a different computer, OEM versions, per the license, cannot. Assuming
it's a retail version, then just uninstall it from the original computer and
reinstall on the new one. Do the phone activation. There is no
deactivation.
