I want to upgrade Vista to Windows 7...

My laptop came with Vista, and I have no disk for Vista. What I've read, it's that I'm going to need a Vista to help upgrade disc. My laptop is old and Microsoft does not update it more, and I installed Windows7 on my desktop, but once again no disc. Please suggest a plan of action, I do much of my work on my laptop and LOVE windows 7.

How to reinstall Vista

Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer 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 $

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

Ask them of the exact key sequence

or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

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
