Hello
You can use your product key to reinstall vista on the same machine
Contact the computer manufacturer 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 $
or borrow a microsoft dvd vista
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

I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium. How can I get this drive?
I have an Acer Aspire 5610 and my hard drive died. I need to reinstall windows, but have no disk. I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium. How can I get this drive? Acer sells not more the disc for this model.
Hello
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
As Acer does not have them, you have 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
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

I wiped my pc and my windows vista. How can I get a copy, reinstall.i have the product code?
Hello
If Vista is preinstalled contact the Manufacter computer and ask them to send recovery discs; what they should do for a small fee.
And ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.
If you have not deleted this partition (you tell how wipe you the hard drive!) you press F10 or F11, etc at startup to start the process of relocation.
Ask the manufacturer for their combination of button to do this, if it is always an option for you.

I have Dreamweaver CS6 but want to update for cc, how ever I did mine and I sign in and upward at the site web adobe and want to use css Designer because with my courses, I do and they use CC. How can I get the upgrade with this new refund. Thank you
There is no way to update the version of perpetual license / DWCS6 drive to the creative cloud, they are two completely separate programs. There used to be a discount for the Creative Suite owners switch to CC, but that ship has sailed.
If you want to the CSS designer, you will need a subscription here: pricing and membership creative cloud plans | Adobe Creative Cloud

Can I buy an activation key and use the Windows 7 Upgrade disk to upgrade to Windows 7?
CAN I BUY AN ACTIVATION KEY AND USE MY OLD DRIVE TO UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 7 UPGRADE FROM WINDOWS XP?
Yes, you can:
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/buy/default.aspx
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/get-a-new-Windows-product-key
The upgrade to Windows XP?
Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.
Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).
More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.
1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.
2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.
3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.
4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."
5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.
If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

See the response of Mike Hall, but also, note the following:
What virus do you have? How do you know if you're a? Reinstalling Windows due to a virus is almost never required and is usually exaggerated way. It is normally much easier and much less likely to cause you problems if you delete the virus with a good antivirus program.
