I have a Windows Vista Business OEM product key but no CD. Is it possible to download the Image? Or I can upload the image of windows 7 or XP and install (enter the product key: Vista) free?
Hello
It's not Microsoft, and we have nothing to do with your downgrade rights.
Read these information from Microsoft:

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:

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.

Activation of WINDOWS VISTA oem with another oem drive?
HI I have a computer with windows vista business on that key. Apparently, I do not have the original OEM drive but I have a dell windows vista Enterprise drive. the product to activate my acer desktop computer?Hello
A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.
Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:
And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.
With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.

Original title: help with error message... Please...!
I use a desktop PC of HP Pavilion a6202.uk with Windows Vista Home Premium & Microsoft Office 2003. When I am back from vacation & turned on my PC, my password was OK, but rather to raise Windows, I received the following message: "Windows Vista Home Premium product key you typed in is invalid for activation. He then listed the following options: "access your computer with reduced functionality (this will allow you to buy a product online key)" or "Type a different product key" or "contact HP to help solve this problem."
I have no idea what a product key is and don't have anything either in the type comes to connect as usual. I can't access anything to be same to reduced functionality. I can not type in a new product key because I did not. I can not contact HP - phone number does not... !!
I'm quite desperate, I travel docs to print and e-mail to answer and I don't have any idea what is happening. Please can someone help with this not very IT clued-up DTP...!
Moved from Vista programs Forum.
You should have a sticker with the product key on your computer, on the bottom, or under the battery cover. I try to type this key in and see if it accepts it. If this isn't the case, you might not have an authentic version of Windows installed.

How can I get a valid Windows Vista Home Premium product key for my Acer Aspire 5050?
My hard drive failed in my Acer Aspire 5050. Replaced, reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium with the appropriate product key, but Microsoft says that it is invalid. Microsoft wants to buy me a new copy of Windows & there is no available from Acer for my laptop recovery disk. What can I do?
The product key on the bottom of the laptop is an OEM product key. This product key does not work for the commercial versions of the operating system. The original shipping charge might work on the system without entering a product key.
If you did not, or are no longer able to get the recovery media, you will have to buy an operating system of your choice for the installation.
Please see this link:

How to get windows using my oem product key
Hello
I got windows 7 preinstalled on my computer, I formatted it
I need windows disk via my oem product key please tell me how
Hello
The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery
But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 retail product key, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).
As you have licensed preinstalled OEM (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a small fee, if it is still available.
Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.
See you soon.
