  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• How to get a free upgrade to Vista?

  I can't find the answer to a simple question of how to get my free upgrade to Vista and what I need to do and where I need to send the information. I bought my laptop in November and the right am to the free update.

  Toshiba makes it deliberately hard to find while they can make money off of not providing the info, so people give up? I'm going nuts trying to find the info.

  Thank you

  Good luck! You have more chance get Vista drivers Toshiba as a free update. Basically, they announce the offer available only in the United States, in Europe, you will pay a company called Moduslink.

• I upgraded from XP to Vista family premium, when I bought my computer, now I may need to get a new motherboard. How do I reinstal vista from disk, I just said express upgrade

  title says it all, power supply gone bad and may have fried the motherboard, works, but just the blue screen, have tested and pilots presentations and hard drive, all are ok. So the next step is the new motherboard if it continutes.

  Hello

  If xp is preinstalled replace a motherboard must be done in collaboration with the manufacturer of the computer as the OEM license is linked to the original equipment installed on

  the xp license dies when the computer dies.

  _________________________________________________

  for reassembly, you will have to reinstall XP, then do the upgrade to Vista

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send XP Recovery discs to reinstall the dos operating system 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
