How can I get a Vista license key?
I have a laptop that is unbootable. It's 'term' with the viruses and malware at a standstill. I slaved the drive on another machine and cleaned, but now it does not even start. I would now just need to recharge the laptop provided with my CD to my vista operating system. The problem is that the sticker on the bottom of the laptop has some numbers rubbed off on it and is no longer legible. (Probably from sitting on my lap while using the laptop) Anyway I still have the hard disk with the data.
.
How do I get/retrieve the installtion of vista key of the old installation so I can reinstall?
I said that it will never be supported by Microsoft.

How can I get a Vista product key
Hello
My laptop compaq with disk hard vista is dead during the holiday season. I could buy a disc of recovery from the supplier, but when I went to enter numbers of validation on my laptop, I found the 3rd sequence of the number worn and unreadable. Anyway for me to * sigh * buy a product code. I'm tired of trying to guess what unreadable characters are... I want to just my laptop to work again.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. While I don't agree with "planned obsolescence" of a product (nor the design of the approved certificate), I can understand the reasoning. My laptop came with a premium version of vista (an exclusive retailer at the time), I had to enter the passcode (he asked for it). I'm just a little upset because of my situation. You know a way to use the software finder key on an external hard drive? I still have my only crushed (and his readable thank God) so that I can recover some of my files. I won't be "forced" to buy a new operating system when I match my needs.
Thanks again
There are external ways to find the product key installed - but chances are that the key on the previous installation is simply the manufacturer OEM_SLP key - which is what you would get installed by the recovery disks. The only reason why it would be different if you had reinstalled using an ordinary drive in Vista, either had some activation issues with the system installed at a given moment.

How can I get my vista reset and return to the factory settings?
How can I get my vista back to factory settings
Hello
Here are the different ways 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

Re: Satellite L300 - 18 d - how can I get a Vista restore disk?
Hello world
My laptop (Satellite L300 - 18 d) has been seriously infected by viruses, all corrupt. I need to resinstall Vista but do not have the restore disc. After searching around, I managd to download a restore disk of some sites, but when I used this disc, it gave me an error code which meant the product key was wrong. I used the product key from the bottom of the laptop (I trust this is an OEM). So I guess I need a restore disk that works with my OEM product key.
How can I get the restore disc that will work with my OEM license?
Also, I tried to install XP on my laptop, but it kept giving me a message saying that it could not detect the hard drive, there is nothing wrong with the hard drive, I tested it on another laptop. Is there an any obstacle o install XP on this laptop that came with Vista of origin. Is there a security Messure somewhere that I collapsed to install XP?
Thanks in advance

How can I get my vista returns with no password?
My hard drive crashed. IM waiting to get a new internal hard drive and apparently my files is stored on an external hard drive that I bought recently. Now I realize I lost not only the recovery disks for my windows vista 64 bit, I also lost the box that my laptop came out if I could still borrow a copy from friends, I still wouldn't have my correct code. I think my name must be in some kind of records, right? How can I get my password back so I have cabin recharge my vista? don't want to have to buy it again... ! Thank you
Personal information and product keys are not stored in the same databases of MS.
Your product key is on the computer itself (assuming that it is a large manufacturer) - on the COA sticker or on the matter, o in the battery compartment.
Note that if you reinstall using the manufacturer's recovery disks, you should not have your own product key at all, as the discs contian, sing the manufacturer of own key, which activates the BIOS on the computer.

How can I get Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit installed on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - Bit?
I decided to install Windows 7 on my computer for the 30 day free trial, but am now regretting it. I don't have the money to buy the product officially, so I want to reinstall my windows vista. I have the drive, but when I try to install the computer says that this version of windows is not compatible with it. How can I get my Windows Vista to install?
Also, I currently have windows 7 Home premium. It is a 32-bit operating system and is running on Service Pack 1. The version of windows that I am wanting to return is Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
I can't make the method for using the windows.old as my uncle decided to remove after installation of windows. I have 13, but even, I knew it was a bad idea. In any case, I would really help with this question.
Ranging from 32-bit to 64-bit is a single proposal for a NEW facility.
You can boot from the DVD and erase your old installation (wipe, from scratch, all not saved disappeared and everything must be installed manually - including drivers for hardware devices and software you have installed now) and install Windows Vista x 64.

I have a HP Pavilion laptop, which came with XP on it and XP key on the back sticker. However, when I bought it, it came with a free Vista Upgrade, that I used. Now several years later it says that my copy of Vista is not authentic, but I can't get the CD key to verify that the CD key is for XP, not Vista.
Any ideas of how to fix cela, or should I just try it backward on a XP machine with old code?
Thank you!
