bought Vista Ultimate and had to restore the computer to factory

I need to be able to load ultimate on the same machine but have no software disc.

* original title - I bought Vista Ultimate and had to reset the computer to factory vista and I did via down load. Is it possible to recover the Ultimate. I bought three different times, and I have my license info. *

Hello
 
 
I would ask you to contact the Microsoft customer service to get the installation disk. After installation, you can use the same license key that you purchased to activate Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. Or you can also contact the website from which you downloaded the Windows vista ultimate.

See the article below for more information.
How and when to contact Microsoft and support Customer Service

I hope this helps.

    I want to restore my computer back factory settings im tp do not know how to do that please inform me on what I do you solved the problem

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Hello. How to restore my Vaio (Model PCG - 71318L) computer to the factory settings. I don't want to do a system restore to a point in time. I want to restore it to factory settings.

    To reinstall windows using the advanced recovery it says I need a 'windows install disc", but the computer did not come with one. How to create a "windows install disc." How this disc is distinguished by the "system repair disc.

  • The intention to restore the computer to factory settings. How can I get Win10 again?

    I have an emachine at less than ten years now. Originally it had installed Win7 on it and last year I got the free update of Win10. No problem downloading or installation, have no problem with it, but this poor old clunky machine is to his last breath. I want to do a "restore to factory settings. I know it will destroy everything, and I guess he'll reinstall Win7, after which I would download and re - install Win10 just like I did before.

    Can I do this?

    Should I have my registration key of Win10?

    Where would he get this information?

    Win10 is still available as a free download/install as if it were last year?

    I don't want to restore on Win7 to see that now I have to buy the Win10 I'm currently using for free, I want to know ahead what to expect and what will be expected of me until I push the button.

    Yes, I know, I need a new computer, but it is not the budget for it right now. It's why I can't really afford to buy Win10 if I don't have one.

    Thank you

    JaeMmb

    Yes, you can.

    Format your system and install Windows 7 and turn it on.

    After coming to start windows update and when your windows 7 updated, it will automatically give you 10 free update Windows.

    But the upgrade of your system before July 29, 2016 because after that, you will only get the free update.

  • I bought Vista Ultimate professional to upgrade the installed Vista. The 'Upgrade' feature is disabled in my professional (full) Vista Ultimate package. Why?

    Why can't go from Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate?

    I have a laptop double boot configured with Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional.

    I bought Vista Ultimate professional to upgrade the installed Vista. The 'Upgrade' feature is disabled in my professional (full) Vista Ultimate package. Why?

    Update requires the same Service Pack level.  For example, if your current Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 or SP2 installed, you will need to uninstall the Service Pack to be able to use the Windows Vista Ultimate Edition disc, you have that has no Service Pack integrated.
