I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks

  You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.

• How can I reinstall windows vista, when I don't have the disc to ony my license on the side of the computer key

  I need to make an own reformatting and installing windows Vista on my Dell Inspiron C521 pc.  Restore dell to original factory option does not work.  Windows has no option to create a recovery disc - am unble to locate the recdisc.exe and possess no original discs as windows came pre-installed, when I brought the machine license key only 25 digits

  You call Dell Support and request a set of recovery disks. The cost is minmal and worth it.

  http://support.Dell.com/

  Also, ask to speak to a technician. See if the technology can teach you how to access the recovery Partition.

  Del has installed the partition, they know how to use it.

• Can I install Windows vista 64-bit for free if I have the 32-bit version preinstalled (OEM)?

  I have Windows Vista 32 bit pre-installed on my computer and now I'm ready to add more memory to my machine.

  I've already paid for Windows Vista, when I bought my Dell computer a few years (I "réinstallation DVD Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit").

  I guess I can legally get and install the 64 bit version of the same operating system (I mean for free, of course)?   I don't want to pay for Windows 7.

  Whether or not it is an option would be between you and Dell.  Copies of the retail Windows come with two discs, but OEM copies that are sold with computers come with one or the other, the one that you ordered when you ordered the computer.  If Dell doesn't want to or can't provide you with a copy, then no one else is able to.

• Can I install Windows Vista on my A110-178

  People,

  I am in possession of a laptop Toshiba Satellite A110-178. I would like to know if I can install Windows Vista on this laptop? And what version, Home Basic, home premium, ultimate or business.

  Kind regards

  Tim Snijckers

  Hello Tim

  I checked the Toshiba download page, and it seems that the drivers for Vista are available. Your laptop should have mode number PSAB0. Please visit http://support.toshiba-tro.de > support & download and choose your model of laptop.

  Before you start the installation of Vista, it is recommended to update BIOS first. I did the same thing for friends Satellite A100. After the BIOS update, I was able to install Vista and all the stuff from Toshiba with no problems.

• Can we install Windows Vista instead of Windows 8?

  We bought a new laptop of Dell XPS with Windows 8 two months ago.  We hate it!  Are we able to install Windows Vista on this new laptop using the disc that we had from our old computer?

  Hello

  If Vista is preinstalled on the old computer (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), it is an OEM license and as such is not transferable.

  If this Vista license was a license to retail, bought and installed by yourself, yes you are allowed to transfer, as long as it is only installed on a machine.

  In other words:

  OEM license: NO transfer.

  Retail price: Yes, you can.

  And first of all whether Dell has Vista drivers available for Windows 8 machine.

  If no driver available, you're wasting your time.

  See you soon.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  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.

  You can also make 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 way of doing 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

• Satellite U400 - How can I install Windows Vista in German?

  Hello

  I bought the Satellite U400-108 in Switzerland, but the language of Windows Vista is in English.

  How can I change German?

  When I start the recovery, I can choose only vista in English. But it says on the package Windows Vista EN/DE/FR/IT

  Could someone help me?
  Thank you very much and sorry for my bad English.

  jax3131

  Hello

  you had the S4 of the VISTA operating system variant but! After you have decided for a language... like you, English, the other 3 languages will be deletet on the HARD drive. When you burn your own recovery media, there will be only the language on it. There is no way to go back.

  but you have a chance. You can order a new media recovery with 4 languages at this link.

• Can I install windows vista in my computer Windows XP Home Edition sp1?

  Hey, I got a computer with Windows XP Edition sp1 family and I tried to install software that requires you to have at least service pack 3 but for some reason I can't do it. I really need help

  Hello BerthaRuiz Meza,

  If your copy of XP SP1 installed account why not have not you updated to SP3? You can download a full copy of SP3 and install it following the instructions on my site: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org/how_can_i_download_full_copy_xpsp3.html

  There is no reason why you can not install a copy of Vista on your computer, however, you must decide if you want to uninstall XP and install Vista (fine if you have a retail copy of vista) or create a system dual boot whereby you can boot into XP or Vista. You will need a commercial version of the DVD as a copy OEM (one provided by the manufacturer of your PC will be linked to the original machine and will not work if moved to another machine.)

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Can I install Windows Vista on my Satellite P100 English more?

  Hello

  I had Satellite P100-448 French added to Windows Vista. In the properties for the computer, it is said that the location of the PC is France. Get and install the English Windows Vista for my P100-448?

  Thank you

  You ask a Vista language added? Sorry dude, but something like it doesn't exist.
  If you want to use the English version of the Vista operating system you must buy the full version of the Vista operating system in the English language and install it on the laptop.
  There is not another way to get the Vista in English

  can I use a home backup windows vista basic os disc which came with an old pc I had, to reinstall the operating system for a pc that had a windows vista edition Home premium?

  Thank you

  Call the manufacturer of your computer. Request a set of recovery disc for Vista Home Premium. Make sure that you mention, 32-bit or 64-bit in your operating system.
  The cost of the set of disks is minimal and it should be spending money.
  The set of disks will save your computer if it breaks in the future.
