I want to re install Windows Vista on my computer but I forgot my password to connect.
I want to reinstall windows vista on my computer but I forgot my password to connect. It comes to my personal computer. I tried to insert the disc, but it will be without automatic operation even if the computer is restarted. How can I get around this?
If you don't lose all the files you created (such as documents or images) and the insrtallation CD or DVD or can download all programs to add after installing Windows in:
Insert the Vista DVD into the DVD drive and boot the computer. Press a key when promptewd to start the computer from the DVD. Facilities to remove the present partitions. Install Windows to the HD.
If the computer does not display a toboot option from the DVD it starts, you need to enter in the BIOS as the machine starts up and change the setting for the first device to boot to the DVD player. Save the changes and exit. Now, return to paragraph 2 above.
Press a few keys to access the BIOS varies according to the version of the BIOS. More frequent are: DEL or F2 or F10. On some machines you can press F12 instead, and it will take you directly to a boot menu.
Good luck.

I have windows xp on my computer but I forgot the password of my computer. I want to install windows 7. My computer doesn't have an internet conncetion as this can't be updated. I have not created a password reset disk. I want to directly install Windows 7 using a disc of windows 7 installation without having to reinstall windows xp first. How can I do?
If you have forgotten your password we couldn't help you get it back, but if you want you could do fresh install of Windows 7 and the format of your driver and all your data would be lost. You just insert the Windows 7 DVD and start with it and follow the instructions. I suggest you take a look at:

I want to re - install windows xp on my laptop but I don't have the resource cd. only I have the key to product label I can do?
also my frist question is that if I install this version (xp sp3) with my product key, it will be legal?
The downloaded file CANNOT BE USED TO INSTALL WINDOWS.
It is not a question of legal or non-legal. The file you download is not complete. The downloaded file will update an existing installation of Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Windows XP Service Pack 2 for Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Right click on my computer, then select Properties. The screen say for your version of Windows, including Service Pack?

Hello
Here's how to reinstall Vista with the Glens recovery Partition (if available to you):
"Restore your software Computer´s factory settings."
And this is how to use recovery provided Dell discs:
"Manually reinstall your Windows Vista operating system"
If necessary (if you have problems with discs), call Dell and ask them to provide you with a set of recovery disks Vista.
They do it for a small fee.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need 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

Hey mileycbond
If vista is already preinstalled contact your computer manfacturer and ask them to send a set of vista recovery disks to do a clean install of vista
and perhaps for do you to save the purchase of recovery disks ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall vista back to factory standards

Can I install windows vista in my computer Windows XP Home Edition sp1?
Hey, I got a computer with Windows XP Edition sp1 family and I tried to install software that requires you to have at least service pack 3 but for some reason I can't do it. I really need help
Hello BerthaRuiz Meza,
If your copy of XP SP1 installed account why not have not you updated to SP3? You can download a full copy of SP3 and install it following the instructions on my site: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org/how_can_i_download_full_copy_xpsp3.html
There is no reason why you can not install a copy of Vista on your computer, however, you must decide if you want to uninstall XP and install Vista (fine if you have a retail copy of vista) or create a system dual boot whereby you can boot into XP or Vista. You will need a commercial version of the DVD as a copy OEM (one provided by the manufacturer of your PC will be linked to the original machine and will not work if moved to another machine.)

already installing windows vista on a computer with windows 7
I have windows 7 on my computer. I have a scanner that is too old to run on windows 7. Can I install vista in order to run the scanner? is there a better solution?
Hello
You can dual boot, but have you tried to install the software of the scanner mode "compatibility"? Look for the Setup file for the scanner and right-click on it. In the drop-down menu, click Properties. In the Properties window, click the Compatibility tab. In the compatibility window place a checkmark (tick) in the box next to the box "run this program in compatibility mode for" and then click on the arrow to the right of the box just below this option to display the opertaing systems. The default is Windows XP SP3, but you can change it by clicking on the arrow down and selecting Vista operating system list. After doing this, click on the OK button and your scanning software should begin to install it in compatibility mode for Windows Vista.
This may solve your problem rather than having to create another partition, install Vista, and then dual-boot.

Cannot install Windows 7 on the computer
Hi my name is Mauricio Osorio, recently, I tried to install Windows 7 on my computer, but it does not work, then I tried to re - install my Windows 8.1 license, but my computer has two drives, all first it's a ssd (Solid disc) and the other is sata, the most common of the disc type. My problem is: I don't know how to use this because it is so small (25 GB) ssd drive, but it is really fast, I tried to install Windows on it, but is so small and it does not work. What should I do?
If as you indicate the SSD is small it almost certainly was not used as a disk operating system, but as a buffer high speed for the main SATA drive.
The factory restore should recover the disks in the correct way before you tried to install Windows 7, you have created the.
If you want to set this function yourself then how exactly depends on the chipset. With the driver Intel Smart Response Technology, you will need to install Windows on the SATA drive then in the driver control panel define the SSD as its buffer.

Model F730 laptop and notebook product S/n CNF7415WH7
I bought a laptop (compaq F30 us in the United States) and windows original vista came with the compaq laptop (bought in US). Now, I want to buy a desktop computer and sell the laptop without windows vista software. Is there a way I can install windows vista in my new office. I don't have the cd or the software with me key since they have not provided for me at the time of purchase
Hello
No there is no way, how the do, because the license of Windows Vista is part of the computer compaq laptop - this is the license OEM - and cannot be separated.
(in case the laptop is broken and cannot be repaired, then the license expiresand cannot be used on another computer)

I have baught a new portable computer and you want to install windows vista (32-bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do it with windows 7 (64-bit)
the laptop contained Home Basic windows 7 (64-bit) and I want to install windows vista Home premium (32 bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do or tell me the parallel method to move a certain 32-bit operating system...I do not understand your question. If the laptop can run Windows Vista, it can probably run Windows 7 too.
To run Windows 7 64-bit, the processor must be a minimum Core 2 Duo.
System requirements:
* 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor
* 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
* 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
* Peripheral figure DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
