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.

  • Product key for Vista Home Premium...

    I had my computer fixed recently, due to a virus... But I got home quite some time now.  It has worked out very well, except occasionally, a pop-up appears, telling me: "product key of Windows Vista Edition Family Premium you typed is invalid for activation.

    I have NO IDEA what this means and why it would be showing now.  I have not tried to install or remove anything to do with Windows Vista.  I only did my "normal thing" (games) on the computer.  Help, please...

    Call the store where you had this problem and ask them what they have done. They need to do this right. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Vista product key sticker is worn. How can I get code?

    my friend has a Toshiba Satellite phone that she bought from a retailer in the United Kingdom. Vista stopped booting and I checked the hard drive that has no bad sectors. It seems that I need to reinstall Vista, but the product key sticker is affixed to the underside of the computer and some of the numbers are worn. Looking carefully with a magnifying glass class I seem to have 21 out of what looks like 24 digits.

    Anyone know how I can get the rest of the code? I have all the other codes from beneath the laptop. This includes the serial number of the laptop and the number that is greater than the activation key and bar codes.

    In any case a round of applause for the one who puts the sticker under the laptop, where it must obviously be carried away.

    Current situation for laptops.  More recent, some manufacturers are put it in the compartment to batteries or if I hear.
     
    The activation key will be 5 sets of 5 characters.  You write what you can now.
     
    Contact Toshiba and explain the situation.  See if they will give new keys (which I doubt.)  If this is not the case, contact Microsoft by using the information in this article:

  • How install to reinstall Windows Vista without a disk on Ubuntu Linux (although I have a valid product key)?

    I have an Acer Aspire 3100 computer laptop comes with Windows Vista, I am not on the number of bits, sure that the processor in this system supports 64-bit operating systems. I was curious to know if there was a way for me to download Windows Vista from Microsoft online and burn it to a CD or a DVD if I have a valid product key supplied with the system. Is it possible to do this? Thank you.

    You can not download Vista.

    In this case, you may be able to buy Acer recovery disks, if you have not created some when you first the computer.

    If you can borrow a Vista DVD (a copy retail, not supplied by manufacturer), you can reinstall since using your product key.

    Hello

    It is easy sometimes to, for example, read B instead of 8 (or vice versa). Another consequence is also possible (e.g., Y and T, C and G). Try to imagine what letter it might be. It cannot hurt to keep trying until you get it right. Once you get it right I would say saving for future occasions when this may be necessary.

    There are characters that are not used: E, U, I, O, A, S, L, Z, N, 1.0

    Hello

    Your question is not very clear to understand.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

    There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.

    This product key for Vista Ultimate is for 2 users; the computer tells me that it is already in use, and it is the second computer. Then I don't understand what the problem is.

    There is no such thing as a ' 2 License User"for Windows.

    It * may * be for 2 processors. These 2 processors MUST be on the same physical motherboard.

    You use WIndows out-of-contract of license and will have to purchase a new license to the second machine.
