7 using the window

I'm sure this is wrong forum for this wuestion but I can't seem to find the right... Well anyway, here is my question, I have an A215 Toshiba Satalite with Vista Home Premium. I want to Windows 7 home Premium, but im confused by things. First of all, licenses... some http://computerstore.ASU.edu/Store/PC/viewPrd.asp?IdCategory=&idProduct=509 can explain how it works... As if I'm more a student in a year or two, I still will be able to have Windows 7? Also what is Oem? And finally a better than an upgrade clean install? will I lose out on all the features be?
Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Flash Player and Windows Media Player are not interchangeable.

    Like many things on the web, the Flash Player local storage can be put to bad use. This does not necessarily mean the Flash Player without scruples or bad product - it's the sites Web/people who abuse of this (depending on your point of view).

    You can configure Flash Player to block local storage on your computer. This does not necessarily all the features of Flash Player - for example with my set of Flash Player to block local storage I can still see videos on YouTube.

    The controls for the Flash Player local storage can be found here: *

    Start-> Control Panel-> Flash Player (32-bit) (Tab instorage )

    There is a good explanation of privacy and local storage of Flash Player here:

    Check with your mail service provider to make sure that there is not an intermittent interruption of service.  If you have webmail capabilities, you can also check.  Otherwise, compact and repair the database (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and if that doesn't help, remove your e-mail account, close and reopen WinMail and then add it back back.  Also check 3rd party program interference such as antivirus software (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

  • It is possible to reinstall Windows 7 using the Windows 10 software, in which I would buy and use?

    Original title: problem of Installation of Windows 7.

    Hello

    Recently, my computer has not been doing any internet access and I thought to reinstall Windows 7.

    But I can't do that because I lost the disc and key product :( (shock)

    So I thought I would buy a new one, but with Windows 10.

    So I have two questions:

    It is possible to reinstall Windows 7 using the Windows 10 software, in which I would buy and use?

    If I decide to buy online, some say it's downloadable, how can I reinstall it without using a CD?

    Hello

    So I have two questions:

    It is possible to reinstall Windows 7 using the Windows 10 software, in which I would buy and use?

    No, Windows 7 and Windows 10 require unique product keys and their respective installation files.

    If I decide to buy online, some say it's downloadable, how can I reinstall it without using a CD?

    Windows 10 is available as a digital download:

    Buy Windows 10 family/professional edition

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?
