  If your system already has Windows installed and activated 10 follow my instructions here to directly download and reinstall clean Windows 10:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Windows-10-OEM-and-retail-ISO/

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/a-clean-install-of-Windows-10/Windows-10-clean-reinstallation-via-bootable-USB-from-ISO/

  Looks like you're in this scenario.

  Note Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 editions are specific. If your system came with Windows 8.1/10 unilingual homepage, Windows 8.1/10 will not be activated.

  Unfortunately there is no clear marker for end users to determine the edition so my advise is to try first to try Windows 10 Home, if she does not activate Windows 10 unilingual homepage.

  Get a SSD for optimal performance.

  Dell have updated drivers for Windows 10 pilots (WT64a) system:

  http://downloads.Dell.com/published/pages/Inspiron-15R-5521.html

  See installing the driver recommended order:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/2015/09/27/driver-installation-order-Windows-10/

  If Windows 10 was not enabled you must reinstall Windows 8.1 and then upgrade. Follow my instructions here:

• Could not initialize and I need to recover the data on the hard drive.

  Original title: computer MOM will not start and I need to recover the data on the hard drive.

  It's an old computer and I do not know what version of Windows it was running.  I guess I need a bootdisk of exploitation, but where can I download that?  Or would it be easier to pull and make a secondary drive in my computer that I just replaced?  It works under Windows XP.

  Hello

  If the old system does not start could be the hard drive. Put the hard drive in another computer as a 2nd drive and then access the files. If you use a computer XP, Vista or Windows 7, you should be able to access the files, unless the drive has failed.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd drive (better) or a USB external drive case and then save up to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives. Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data. (This will not work if the hard disk is defective or other issues preventing the system from booting from the CD/DVD drive.)

  Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead

• Cannot install Vista on the new hard drive

  original title: Please help!

  I have a dell laptop inspiron 1720, not the newest I know but it surfs the web. At least it used to. I had some sort of virus or something and my hard drive kept bluescreening on me. I said, well I want to do this thing faster and have more space anyway. Out a ram 1 g got 4g, out went the 120gig and got a 250. Went to reinstall dell support stuff and it went well. Then had my vista disk and started to install. Expanded files ok and everything. You all the way to the install tab end and nothing happens? Don't know what else to do? Any help would be great.

  Turns out I'm only semi retarded. My friend told me since I have a new hard drive, I would probably need to first load the driver for it. Then I got to the part when you choose a car and chose to load drivers. Of course I had to change discs in the middle of install and load a driver for the new hard drive and everything went smoothly after that.

• Loading Vista on a new hard drive

  I would like to re - install Windows Vista on a new hard drive on a laptop HP Pavilion DV6000 of portable entertainment is since 2007.  Now, the laptop came with Vista pre-installed.  The laptop came with a system recovery disk.  My question is: this disk contains Windows Vista I need to load new hard disk?

  GaryRob

  Yes assuming that the new hard disk is at least as large as the former, system recovery disk is exactly what you need to restore the PC as long as you plant. Simply tap on F9 you turn on with the disc in the drive and select the DVD as a source of start-up and follow on-screen prompts. You'll need to do a lot of updates, but you will have a working computer.

• Reinstalling Vista on a new hard drive in a Dell XPS420

  I have been using my Dell XPS 420 for years, but lately the C: drive (with Windows Vista Home Premium and the recovery partition) are dead. I had to reinstall Vista on a new hard drive. It went well until Vista was finished all the updates that are accumulated. He says that my Windows is not genuine, and he refused to go further than the connection. The Windows CD is Dell and it came with the computer. My Dell warranty expired a long time ago. Can anyone help?

  Using the recovery process of the manufacturer normally does not require activation. It will activate itself during the recovery process.

• Satellite L40: Can I use Toshiba DVD to install Vista on a new HARD drive

  Hi people,

  I'm new to this forum... I don't know that there, can someone advise me.
  I replace my Satellite L40 HDD with a bigger drive, the current is only 80Gig.

  And my question is, can I use my Toshiba recovery Disc to reinstall Vista on the new HARD drive, or is it a hidden partition on the original HARD drive?
  If someone has done this, would appreciate an idiots guide to doing the same thing.

  Cheerzzzzzzzzzzz...

  Of course you can do it.
  The DVD of Vista recovery Toshiba help you install Vista, all the drivers Toshiba and tools, and it automatically creates all the partitions.

  So what you have to do is to boot from the recovery DVD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)

• I need to reinstall Windows Vista on a NEW hard drive

  I need to upgrade my hard drive a 500 GB to a 2 TB hard drive. I want to keep the old hard drive as what without having to format. I'll put it on in the case where I never need to access the data that's out there. I have the key Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit disk and license. Is it possible to just install it on the hard drive again without any license validation error or the old hard drive must be formatted to remove windows. Desktop PC. Thank you

  Hello

  Legally, you must save your data > wipe this most hard > re - install your data, and then use this drive hard as you would normally use an external hard drive. namely for data only.

  One license is for a single installation.

  You can have activation issues with the new hard drive and reinstall anyway.

• If I replace my hard drive, what I need to do to install my OS (Vista) on the new hard drive? I don't have an OS disc (factyory installed).

  MS Vista was preinstalled on my computer. (I bought it new.) It did not come with a MS Vista program disc.) My hard drive has crashed and I need to replace it. What should I do to get the Vista OS on my new hard drive.

  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.

  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.

• Restore Vista Premum (32-bit edition) for the new hard drive from the laptop when original disks are lost?

  Hello

  I'm trying to upgrade from my son's laptop computer and want to replace the current drive with a much larger.

  It is running Vista Home premium Edition (32 bit) and he lost his records came with the laptop: I can do?  I bought Windows 7 Upgrade and a disk hard sata 500 GB, but I need to get Vista on the new drive before Windows 7 readers.

  I backed up the data using Windows Easy Transfer for issue restores the operating system.

  Please note that this is a laptop, I can only have a hard drive up both and I don't know how to get the operating system to the new blank disc? I can create a recovery on a DVD disc / C or something Vista or a 3rd party utility?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Contact the manufacturer to see if you have a recovery Partition and if it can create recovery discs.  If so, create the recovery disks and you will be able to use them to restore the system to factory conditions once you have installed the new drive (but you may need to install the new Vista compatible drivers for the new drive as the recovery disks can have only those for the old disk).  Otherwise, contact the manufacturer and get a set of recovery (at a modest price) discs and use them to restore the system to the conditions of the plant on the new drive.  When we talk to them, confirm that their recovery process allows you to install new drivers for the new drive hard during the process and exactly how do (or it doesn't work - so be sure to check it out).  We cannot help you with recovery of the manufacturer process as it their not Microsoft.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• DV6 - 6167cl: need to win 7 recovery disc for a new hard drive

  I do not know what operating system Windows 7, my laptop had, but I need to put Windows 7 on my laptop HP dv6 - 6167cl recovery disks.

  My original question was that my laptop could not restore or anything on its own.  After calling HP support and carry out a guided diagnostic test, it was determined that my hard drive was bad.  I bought a new hard drive and replaced it, but need to get Windows 7 return on that.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Unfortunately, there is no option to download the recovery media - discs, or a usb flash drive must be ordered from HP by following the link in my previous post.

  For the version, the possibility of order recovery media is only listed under Windows 7 64 bit and that's what I would have expected your laptop to ship with - it is your machine comes with 6 GB of Ram and would require a 64-bit OS to be able to access what anyone more than 4 GB

  Another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

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

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made 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.
