How to use my restore disks to install Windows Vista on my Toshiba laptop?
How to get Windows Vista installed on the Toshiba laptop?
As a general rule, the installation - insert the installation disc, restart the computer and boot from the installation disc.
BIOS - how to enter the BIOS and change Boot Order To Boot from CD/DVD
The computer might need to be set to boot from the DVD drive.
Each computer is different, when you turn on the computer, it should tell you what button to push to get into the BIOS. It is usually one of the following options and you have to push it in the first 5 seconds:
F1 F2 F10 F12 ESC LED
Once in the BIOS find the menu with the boot sequence and change it if it starts from the CD/DVD drive first. Each computer is a little different for this process as well, so I can't give exact directions.
If you can start still not install it:
Looks like you got the installation discs for the manufacturer of OEM computer, if so those are modified OEM Windows 7 install disks (they aren't the installation discs for Microsoft) and the best answer may come by contacting the manufacturer of OEM computers, because the changes they did make the different installation process then a normal installation disc.
Contact information for the manufacturer of your computer can be found here:

How to use the Dell CD to install windows 10
Hello
We bought several optiplex 3040 provided with windows 7 preloaded, all machines include a purple cd with windows 10. I followed the instructions for restart in UEFI, access the menu CD mode and choose to restore the PC, the machine starts to work after it indicates that the restore is complete it restarts and displays the menu even all over again. What should I do to install windows using this CD of 10? what I am doing wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help
Kind regards!
Never use DVD provided to install Windows 10. It is an obsolete old construction of Windows 10 meaning that basically, you need to install Windows 10 twice (clean install old build then update install the new version). In addition, the optical drive fails to pass SecureBoot.
Download an .iso of 10 RS1 Microsoft's Windows Live and do an install USB Bootable using the GPT Partition for UEFI BIOS, make sure that its FAT32 formatted and make sure your UEFI BIOS settings have Legacy Roma disabled, Legacy Boot disabled and a start on UEFI with SecureBoot.

Problem installing Windows Vista after Linix based system crashed.
So when I bought this laptop it was running Vista, I then upgraded to 7. After running windows 7 for a few months, I decided to try Ubuntu Linux. I made a mistake when trying to dual boot and ended up taking my computer windows. Ubuntu crashed while I was doing something to my Iphone with it and she would not allow me in the operating system. I got my restore disk and installed windows again, but when I did I found that all my drivers are not installed for my wifi card and the graphics card. I have the drivers also disk, but here shows all installed. What should I do to recover my laptop to factory settings?

Hey SteveZea
you don't say if you used your laptop to join here or not
go to your site to manufacturers of portable computer with the computer that you use for here and find a download section
find the drivers for your laptop model number, download and save if you use another computer to get here
copy to flash drive, if you use another computer to do this and reinstall on your laptop
If the problem persists then contact the manufacturer of your laptop as their recovery process is not microsofts you have problems with

Can we install Windows Vista instead of Windows 8?
We bought a new laptop of Dell XPS with Windows 8 two months ago. We hate it! Are we able to install Windows Vista on this new laptop using the disc that we had from our old computer?
Hello
If Vista is preinstalled on the old computer (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), it is an OEM license and as such is not transferable.
If this Vista license was a license to retail, bought and installed by yourself, yes you are allowed to transfer, as long as it is only installed on a machine.
In other words:
OEM license: NO transfer.
Retail price: Yes, you can.
And first of all whether Dell has Vista drivers available for Windows 8 machine.
If no driver available, you're wasting your time.
See you soon.

I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.
I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk. I had to replace the hard drive, so he has nothing about it and I added more ram, but I replace the cd player so it is not yet installed on the HP. So I was wondering if I could put the installation disc in my laptop cd/dvd and connect computers by usb ports and install it this way and if not how can I?
Thank youHello
You are welcome
If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista. Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.
Kind regards

I bought the student edition Adobe Creative suit 5.5 standard design and I was told that there was a copy to 2 Macs. I've only used on one. I then send the 6 suit standard design Creative updated (not student worm). Does this mean that I can still use it on 2 Macs? There was only one disc for 5.5 and 6, just do you use the same disk to install on Mac?
Yes, you use the same drive and serial number... The Adobe license allows 2 activations
When you install the CS6 upgrade you will need to enter your previous serial number

Hi-
I recently partion on my computer hp laptop and installed windows vista family premium with the recovery disk I got with the laptop I have this laptop for about 4 years, I have the product ID-89578-oem-7332157-00204. If possible can I get the product key to my email * address email is removed from the privacy * because that's what I was told by hp when I asked them why they said that my warranty is over, but my windows cd must be functional and ask microsoft. If you could really help me, I really need because I am a user of autocad as a computer architect, it's the only thing that I have money on working hard.Hello
the HP recovery discs do not normally require an input key product on your part
It's a good idea to always write it down in a safe place and away from the computer
Unfortunately, these stickers wear away very easily
and good luck with it
