where can I get a free copy of windows vista edition Home premium? I tried to restore my laptop without success. I think I need a copy of the installation disc so that I can reinstall it with my current product key
Hello
There's a photo guide based on the recovery of your model here...
http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/tutorial/381906/product/VGN-fz18g
If you cannot use this method because what did your friend, your options are...
- Pay Sony for media recovery
- A base Windows installation followed by installing specific Sony drivers and software from their Web site.
If you walk down the road of the latter, I would say that, if possible, before you begin reinstalling Windows you download at least the Ethernet drivers and wireless and save in, for example, a USB key. Start your drivers to search for them (and other) here...
http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/product/VGN-fz18g/FAQ
.. everything will be difficult to download if drivers that allow access to the internet are not native to a new installation of Windows.
Your principled stand against Sony charges for media recovery is, in my opinion, wrong. As I already said twice...
If Sony did not provide recovery media that they have provided the means to create them
If you lost or do not burn them and messed up your recovery partition, it's not for lack of Sony.
My serious recommendation is to accept a fee of Sony for the recovery media. It will make life much simpler for you. For this reason alone, it is probably useful tax, especially considering that you're obviously not a user advanced. Otherwise, why ask the help of a friend and ask for help on this forum?
I suspect that the links I've seen on this website are actually only valid for Windows 7 media images. If you do not buy the recovery media and go with an iso image download Vista Home Premium, I have to warn about the following...
- The legality of this is, at best, questionable
- If it's not genuine Microsoft media you might end by in an even bigger mess (if it works at all)

And also, if I tried to validate my copy of Windows XP by using Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer 8, but I keep getting "Validation failed".

Hello
Please help us, but it seems to be a problem with the end of Microsoft after all. Perhaps, they were low maintenance, when I tried to activate my Windows XP Pro yesterday.
In any case, my Windows XP Pro is now enabled.

Why can I not use my old genuine copy of windows Vista on my new pc?
Windows vista on new pc
Why can I not use my old genuine copy of windows vista on my new pc?
I received an activation message and I don't know what to doIf your Vista came pre-installed in your old PC, then this is an OEM license that cannot be transferred to your new PC.
To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
-* in your own thread *, pleasePlease also state the Version and edition of Windows cited on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case with your machine, but do NOT quote the key on the sticker!

I'm upgrading to a new PC. How can I transfer my Acrobat Adobe Student Edition XI to the new PC?
Your license allows you to have two facilities enabled, so you can keep the original as a backup, if you prefer. If this is not the case, while the minimum you need to do with the old installation is to disable this feature by opening the program and by selecting help-> Deactivate.
To get the software on the new machine, you must install using the installation files and your serial number.

Hard disk failed to keep windows 7 for the new hard drive or SSD
Hi, windows told me recently there is a problem with my hard drive and that I would back up my data to an external storage device, in case it fails, but don't want to backup my files because they aren't important. When I tried to access file Explorer the next day I got the warning my computer froze. I'm not him have not restarted the laptop since then in fear that it could make it more worn, since I may still need it.
I try to order a new hard drive or SSD and won't buy windows 10 because it's expensive. Instead, I want to keep my current operating system, which is windows 7 Home premium, which is preinstalled on my laptop. I have no recovery disks and I didn't do all the backups at all, but here is a windows 7 product key stuck on the back of the laptop.
I was wondering if I can use the product key to install windows 7 on the new HDD/SSD and if yes, how, I would go to this topic. Also, if I can't do the wrench is it another way (because I may be able to use it yet), because I don't want to have to buy any other OS.
Specifications:
Laptop: TOSHIBA Satellite A660
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
(Let me know if you need more details)
Thanks for any help.
If you are still able to boot from the Windows 7 Desktop on the current hard drive, try to create a set of recovery disks. See the instructions in the following article:
https://NeoSmart.NET/wiki/Toshiba-Recovery-disk/#Create_disc_for_Windows_7
After you create the defined recovery disc, close, install the new SSD, then use the updated recovery disk to reinstall Windows 7 on new disk SSD.
You will need 4 blank DVDs.
