error message saying that it is the wrong key when you use a sticker

Product key

I have an OEM version of vista Home premium. I'm trying to load on an acer extensa 5420 using the product key on the bottom of the laptop. When I enter the key, I get an error message saying: it's the wrong key. How can I use this disc to reinstall windows?

Hello

The OEM recovery disks are the brand and the specific model

You can't use a disc from another manufacturer

How to reinstall Vista

Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer 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
