  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Code product key? had reboot my computer and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop

  Hi, I'm having a problem with my laptop. I bought my laptop online, a year ago, and I got a virus. Then, I had my computer reset and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop. After looking through records and information, we found that he had no number. He worked initially but then recently he was asked for a product key or something of the sort code. I was using my laptop but I cannot customise my background etc.

  Can you help me?

  Thank you very much

  The code is located on a label and is a 25-digit alpha-numeric (and very hard to read) code separated into 5 groups of 5 numbers separated by dashes.  If you can't find it on the bottom of your laptop, open the battery housing and remove the battery and look there - I know of cases where this is where it was placed.

  If you can't find the product key, your only choice is to contact the manufacturer and see if they can help.  Sometimes the relocations made with recovery disks don't need to be activated (depends on the manufacturer and their recovery process must ask them and confirm before you spend money on the recovery discs).  A valid product key is required for activation if activation is required - there is no way around this problem.  And in case you are considering on it, you can't switch from one product not enabled - you need to do a clean and complete installation (update disc will not work).

  I hope this helps and that the manufacturer can help you.

  Good luck!

• Need the product key for Windows 7

  Original title: product key I need see I update when let you all the people download for free and need product key

  need to fine product key for windows 7

  need to fine product key for windows 7

  Hello Butterflylove1983,

  Give you specific help, to a more detailed description of the problem and the question you have.

  Some questions that you can answer to help out are:

  1. what version of Windows 7 are you running?
  2 what is an OEM version that came with your computer, or a retail version that you bought?  (or a beta version)
  3. is your enabled copy?
  4. you are trying to locate the key that you used to activate Windows 7? Or you try to get a key, so you can activate Windows 7?

  If you have already activated and used a key, you can download a product such as Belarc Advisor and run it to extract the key.  However, if you have installed Windows 7 and do not use a key, you will need to purchase a license in order to activate it.  This can be done through computer vendors such as newegg.com or amazon.com, or even by the Web sites online.

  If you are looking for a 'free' or 'key to crack', then you come to the wrong place to ask.  Since it is a Microsoft forum, noone in their right mind will tell you where to look for pirated keys or ways around the keys.

  Hope that this help give you to a more detailed explanation of your problem and have a nice day :)
  Patrick.

  I need a link for windows 7 starter 32 bit X 16-96078. If possible!

  Hello

  HP do not offer a download for the recovery media option, but there are two options available.

  1. you can order a set of replacement of the recovery media using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2 you can use the following method to create your own Windows 7 Starter 32-bit installation media.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can still read all the key character product activation 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create Windows 7 installation yourself using another PC. However, it not there no download directly available for Windows 7 Starter, so you'll need to download another version (one will do, but the link below is for Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit - the source of the image is Digital River).

  Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit SP1.

  For the key on your label of COA to work, you must now use the method described in the following link to convert this ISO to an all-version Installer - the section that require you to edit the ISO is Step 1 DVD universal (although you will create an installer from usb, the method to change the ISO is the same).

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/85813-Windows-7-universal-installation-disc-create.html

  Once done, use an application like Rufus to create a bootable Windows 7 usb flash drive.

  Use the Flash drive to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA in the request and one time Setup is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• Presario CQ5720F: Changed the motherboard, need original key from windows 7 to get my replacement windows 10 key

  Hi there, I don't know if I'll have some luck with this question, because my computer is a few years old. A few months ago I asked a friend to help me to update my old computer, which he did, but it seems to cause problems with my OS. I believe that my machine originally supplied with Windows 7 on it, and I was updated for Windows 10 a little so that before all this. So long story short, my friend updated my PC successfully, but when he was done my version of Windows 10 now shows the text "Activate Windows" on the lower right.  I was told that it was because my internal hardware had been changed, but when I contacted Microsoft to get a new key, they needed my original key of Windows 7 so that they give me a free replacement key Windows 10.
  
  I doubt that I'll be able to get assistance to get a new key for this machine, as it seems that all official support, I tried to get all of lead them to dead ends. I'd appreciate help on the question if this means that I can save my money and not end up having to buy a new key for Windows 10.

  The computer (your desktop, right) provided with Windows 7 Home Premium. There was a sticker key Code on the case. What happened to him?

• HP 14 - n018us: license key for Windows 8

  Once I have replace the hard drive in my laptop, I have a Windows 10 ISO DVD to install Windows. Microsoft requires that I have the license key for Windows 8 that came with the laptop to provide the free update for Windows 10. Where can I find the license key for the Windows 8 that came with the HP laptop. It is currently being upgraded to Windows 10 and current hard drive works fine. I want to replace it with a SSD and clean install of Windows 10

  Hello:

  If you have already upgraded to W10, and it has been successfully activated, everything you need to do is clean the W10 installation media with installation you have created.

  When you get to the Setup screen, you will be prompted to enter a product key or the choice to click on "I don't have a product key."

  You select the option "I don't have a product key" and W10 install and reactivate automatically, because it has already been legally installed on your laptop.

  I had to do it on a couple of PC where I reinstalled it W10 - both when I changed the mechanical drives to SSD.

  Hello djplexus

  First, you will need to understand how to set up the dual boot. This will allow you to be able to choose between XP and 7 at startup.
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/edge/video/ff710733
  With regard to the creation of an image of Windows XP Backup there is no Windows XP software that will do it for you. You will need to look to third-party vendors for support with this issue. Thank you.

  I have a right problem, my computer laptop need to format I have product key for windows vista home basic 32 bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks

  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

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  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.
