I have the product ID's but no disc. How can I request filter spare or can I use another dish of my other system?

Can not find the disc, but have the code

We have 2 desktop computers and my husband needs reinstalled operating system but we can't find the disc for it. I have the product ID for his. Can I use my drive to install Windows but equip the correct product of his computer ID?

Hello

You cannot use recovery to another computer brand and model for resettlement purposes discs.

Your husband can contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

It depends on what drive you are talking about when you ask if you can use your drive:

If you have a DVD of Vista from Microsoft, 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:

And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

See you soon.

PS You need the product key; not the product I.D. for resettlement purposes.

The product key is 25 digits, divided into 5 sets of 5 numbers
