  I need to reinstall windows vista on my Satellite L300 because of a problem, I had with it (the computer does not start and the recovery option does not work). It has not come with a windows CD so how can I reinstall it?
  Do I have to get a CD by myself and if so - what version of windows vista is compatible with my laptop?
  (I can not contact the provider because I is not guaranteed).

  > It came not with a windows CD so how can I reinstall it?
  You had an option pre-installed on your laptop that you helped to create the recovery disk. Seems you didn't create this disk in the past

  Well, in this case, you can order the CD here:

• How to reinstall windows vista on Lappy which is preinstalled?

  I have Thinkpad R400 preinstalled Windows Vista SP1.

  Due to software problem (suddenly froze after 2-3 min to boot) I did a factory reset. Contributing to the frozen problem but brings a lot of other problems.

  Problems-
  01 after reset, some programs don't go out. Clicking on it shows "invalid path".
  2. opening a file creates a separate window, although opening in the same window settings in 'on '. I found a solution on the internet IE "actxprxy.dll" activation through cmd. This is useful.
  3. turn the button to "auto update" and "Windows defender" does not work. I mean after clicking it shows it will turn on but stays the same.
  4. There is a problem with the installation of other software.
  5. after each start up brightness down by half. I have to manually increase.

  Now, I decided to reinstall vista, but I have no cd of restoration or cd of the OS.

  There is a product id to the Lappy back.

  I can use it at installation time?

  Help me, I want to start from the beginning with this vista.

  Hello

  How to reinstall in the same system windows 8 pro with already purchased product key online. I bought one DVD product key. There is a future for guidance only.

  Thank you best regards &,.

  How to reinstall Windows 8

  You have two options:

  If you want to reinstall Windows 8, which means remove applications and personal files and settings, you can use the reset and refresh. This is equivalent to a clean install.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  · Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start

  Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

  Option 2:

  If you create an installation DVD or a USB bootable, you can use them to reinstall Windows. First, you will need to reinstall license qualification, then begin the upgrade to Windows 8. License of qualification means that you will need to reinstall Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

  Option 3:

  A workaround for this situation is to create a system image of Windows 8, just after you have upgraded. So if your drive plant, you can simply restore the image on a new hard drive or restore the image on the same drive, if you want to reinstall Windos 8.

  See the following for instructions on how to create an image of the installation process of Windows 8:

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/

  (references Windows 7, but the same principles apply to Windows 8).
