Hi Loy,

What the validation process typically does is search your hard disk for 
evidence of files that make up a copy of the product you are upgrading 
from. What I have seen it do usually is to come back and tell you that 
it could not find a qualifying product to upgrade, but it then gives you 
the opportunity to enter the path to a disk for it to try and find the 
qualifying upgrade.

If this is the case with your Front Page, then you could simply try 
taking the disk out of your old computer and attaching it to your new 
computer as an additional data disk (even putting it in a USB enclosure 
and connecting it that way should work). Now when the upgrade asks for 
you to enter the path to a qualifying product, simply enter the path to 
your old disk.
