  Hello

  There is no free and legal Vista download

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

  Microsoft provides no DVD of vista for Dell brand name computers Acer etc.

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Can we use this product key on the back of the laptop for the activation and the windows 7 Professional 32-bit to windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade?

  I have a laptop HP originally shipped with windows 7 32-bit professional. Now I want to upgrade to windows 7 professional 64 bit. I don't have with me installation disk. So I thought that it is possible (and legal) to resume an installation of windows 7 professional 64 bit disc from a friend and use this product key on the back of my laptop computer to activate windows after the installation of 64-bit? I'm a bit confused.

  NOTE: This sticker on the laptop has windows 7 pro oa, and a product key to 25 digits (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx) written on it.

  In addition, the product ID in the information system in the control panel is OEM.

  Yes, you can use the product key located on the COA sticker with a full retail version or the version upgrade Windows 7 Professional disc.

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

  Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:
  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Can I use a product key UPGRADE from 32-bit Windows 7 to a new clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

  In 2009, I upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 7 32 bit. This laptop recently died and is no longer in use.

  I am building a new computer and I want to install it on Windows 7 64 bit (there no initial operating system because it is a made to measure machine).
  Can I install Windows 7 64 bit on the new machine and then use the old product key, that I received in 2009, even though it was a upgrade for the 32-bit product key?

  If its a version upgrade, the answer is no.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Can I use a product key OEM Windows 7 provided with my laptop on a different computer if my laptop original broke and I no longer use it?

  I have a disc of "Window7 Holiday Home Edition". I got it on my laptop. But the broken laptop. Can I put on my laptop, using the "Product Key" that used it on the laptop.

  original title: product key

  I have a disc of "Window7 Holiday Home Edition". I got it on my laptop. But the broken laptop. Can I put on my laptop, using the "Product Key" that used it on the laptop.

  Sorry, but there is no such thing as «Window7 Holiday Home Edition»  This is the ultimate. Home Basic or Home Premium.

  He intervenes, it it is preinstalled on your laptop and the laptop died, the license to use, he died with him. It cannot be moved to another computer.

  Preloaded is an OEM version and the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is that its license it permanently binds to the computer first it is installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold, or given to outside (except with the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

  If its licensed OEM System Builder that was never used, Yes. If his license OEM from another computer, no.

  As mentioned, the laptop must already include factory restore options that may allow you to reinstall the operating system from scratch.

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  I have a laptop of chromos Samsung series 7 which is preinstalled with windows 7. I wanted to do a clean install of windows 7 to get rid of all the bloat ware that was installed so I download the iso of windows 7 digital river.

• Can I use my product key on my pc and a virtualbox/vmware/virtualpc as my pc aswell?

  Hello

  I got a license key of windows xp, and ive used on my pc, although when I am using linux, I can't use windows programs.

  I was wondering if I can use my xp on my pc AND virtualbox license key. (it will be on the same computer-just on a different partishionn)

  Thank you

  Laughing out loud

  If your license is an OEM one that you can use it on the metal bare - no machine in the virtual machine.

  If it's a retail one, you can use it in the installation of bare metal OR the virtual machine, but NOT both.

  If you want two installations, you need two licenses.
