  Vista Premium check

  A few years ago, I bought a second hand PC... It has been a real installation CD of Vista Home basic. However, the computer is running on a Vista Ultimate. Recently I installed the updates, but I needed to verify the copy of vista installed in the PC. It's sad to say, I don't have the product key for the ultimate, but I still have one for the Basic Home Edition. Please help me what to do. I don't know the difference between the basic and premium. Will I get off just my OS to Vista Home Basic?

  If Yes, then you can reformat and reinstall (after backup your data on external media) using the disc and key - and will end by (hopefully) with a legal basis Home installation.

  You can verify the key before you try - in which case I suggest ringing your local activation center from the list below and ask them about it. They should be able to tell you the story of the activation of the key, and whether or not it is currently ranked as authentic.

  Any computer windows 7, which had the Windows installed KB3022345 update will produce the message of irreparable corrupted system files.  You have probably installed this month of may, 2015 update and that's the problem.

  To make things worse, it is unlikely an update that you want to, because its purpose is to make it easier for you to upgrade to Windows 10.

  While you're there, uninstall these other two updates that have similar objectives: KB3035583 and KB2952664

  1. Control Panel, uninstall a program, view installed updates.

  2. WAIT a long time until you see the green bar at the top to make his trip

  3. In the search box, type KB3022345

  4. When it happens, uninstall it.

  5. Close the window

  6. Begin globe, all programs, Windows Update, check the updates.

  7. When he finally find KB3022345, right-click, choose hide.

• Computer tells me that my windows 7 is not genuine. Cause a lot of problems on my laptop

  A week ago, I received a letter when I turned on my laptop, my windows 7 was not authentic. Its worked fine for the last 2 months, but just decided that he no longer wants. My background is black and my laptop won't charge or update properly. He told me always to enter a different product code, or buy a new. I go to the official website of windows, and everything I find is the link to download windows 10, I strongly dislike.

  Is this a virus? Or was the Windows I downloaded really fake? How can I fix it and make sure that I got the real thing?

  There are some rootkits / malware that can cause this problem.

  Use free malwarebytes

  Uncheck Activate the free track among the installation options

  https://www.Malwarebytes.org/antimalware/

  Then open free mbam

  Go to top Scan / Custom scan / configure scanning

  On the left column, select the check box to search for rootkits

  On the Middle options check all ads / Partitions / disks connected... Then scan now on the bottom.

• Download Windows XP OS. I need the installation disc. Have the product key number but no disc

  I checked on the Microsoft website in the world, it seems that Microsoft has decided to abandon its customers on their own once they declare an "obsolete" product (they need to sell newer versions) So stop the previous support helps to encourage (force) people to migrate to Windows 7

  Now more to the point does anyone know how to be a person who has lost the original installation CD, but still holds a legitimate property right with a number of product key of Windows XP to download a copy of the operating system must be able to move back into the original computer?

  I'd appreciate knowledgeable answers.

  Thank you kindly

  The key you press on varies considerably according to the computer on which model Dell you have.  Some models do not have this option.  Now, your next logical step would be to download the manual of your Dell computer, that will give you specific instructions for your model on how to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to <> http://www.dell.com >
  On the homepage at the bottom under "Support", click on the link "drivers and downloads".
  Then click on the link "Support for Home Users" on the next page.
  You will be asked to identify your computer model.
  After that, click on "Manuals" in the left border, and follow the instructions to download the manual for your computer.  These manuals contain instructions that you need to reinstall Windows.

• I want to re - install windows xp on my laptop but I don't have the resource cd. I don't have the product key. What can I do?

  also my frist question is that if I install this version (xp sp3) with my product key, it will be legal?

  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?
