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

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

    Hello

    I bought a W530 with preinstalled Windows 7 and I have improved the system of Windows 8 using the discs. Now, I discovered that I do not have Windows 8, and I would go back on Windows 7. But I can not find the product key of windows 7 on the bottom of the laptop, and there is no Windows 7 recovery disk either.

    any suggesion would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    On recent ThinkPads, the sticker of the product ID key has been moved to the lower part of the unit behind the battery.

    You should contact Lenovo support directly to ask about a recovery media.
