    I have an Acer Aspire 3100 computer laptop comes with Windows Vista, I am not on the number of bits, sure that the processor in this system supports 64-bit operating systems. I was curious to know if there was a way for me to download Windows Vista from Microsoft online and burn it to a CD or a DVD if I have a valid product key supplied with the system.

  • I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium. How can I get this drive?

    I have an Acer Aspire 5610 and my hard drive died.  I need to reinstall windows, but have no disk.  I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium.  How can I get this drive?  Acer sells not more the disc for this model.

    Hello

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    As Acer does not have them, you have to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Hello

    The Vista installation is not difficult.
    He just put the Vista disk in the STRANGE and then start from the disc.
    The installation will start automatically.

    But this will format your HARD drive and you will lose your installed Win XP and other files.

    > How can I install back all the utilities and drivers which it came with?
    I guess you have a Toshiba Recovery disk.
    If you want to retrieve the OS installed by Toshiba, then you need to use the Toshiba Recovery for recovery disk.

    PS: what Qosmio F do you have exactly? I ask because 108 F is not known to me

  • Need to reinstall XP but have lost my product key

    I have a windows computer that is so old that, until recently I only ran from 98SE to this topic.  A few years ago, I bought XP - just before XP exploded the market, actually.  When I installed it, I discovered that the only programs I've used with no matter what regularity still existed, a couple who worked in the BACK (!) and the other who would not run in XP.  So I went back to 98SE.

    Recently, I bought a Macbook Pro.  I have an emulator on BACK, so I run now these two programs on the Macbook.  And I have a Mac program, which replaces the one that did not run in XP.  But (1) I need the Macbook to the old Windows of the network computer, and it doesn't seem to work with 98SE; people on various forums suggest that it will be easier with XP.  (2) I downloaded a new program that does not run under 98SE, but works on XP, Vista and 7.  (My old windows computer is too low to run whatever happened to XP.  Even XP stem it.)
    So now I want to reinstall XP.  I was barely in the process when the message came to enter my product key.  The problem is that shortly after the first installation, I put the disc in a box, without getting into account that the product key is on the original cardboard jacket (or whatever XP came in--I don't even know).  I've looked everywhere and can't find it, and apparently I copy down the key to product no more.
    Y at - it * all * way to reinstall?  Or get my product key for Microsoft (I register XP when I installed it first)?  I can't reach tech support tonight, I get an error message.

  • How can I reinstall Vista without disks?

    Mr President.

    Already I had original windows product keys and have no installation CD can I use another cd and put my keys, it will work as genuine.

    Read the information below:

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    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.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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 own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s 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):

    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

    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.
