How can I replace my Windows Vista support?

I'm loading Windows Vista Home Premium on a friends computer.  It has a valid key but PERSON DO keep their records.

OK, so about a week ago someone helped me with iso images of Windows 7.  I corrected my friend computer and now his Windows Vista computer has problems.  I'm formatting the hard drive, but it doesn't have its disk of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.  Its key is displayed directly on the box, so I did that, I just need an iso image.

Software Windows Vista is not available for download... Sorry!  Try: How to replace Microsoft software

    You must verify that your hardware of PCs will supports Windows 7, therefore, you must visit the HP site and check that the Windows 7 drivers are available for your PC.

    Windows 7, is of course, is no longer provided by Microsoft, so you can use scouring eBay or Amazon to see if a copy is legitimate is available. Like most of the software there are many out there pirated copies so be wary.

    You can also check if you can run Windows 8.1 instead. This will bring you bang up-to-date with the latest operating system. You can download the Wizard Windows 8 upgrade from this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8 the link to the upgrade wizard is in the second paragraph.

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need 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

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
