  You need to try Amazon.com.

  A word of warning; never buy product on their own keys.

  Always buy the complete package; DVDS, etc.

  Don't forget, extended Support for Vista ends in April next year, 2017.

  If the top is not your problem, because no button 'Start' is mentioned, more information is needed.

  Hey bman1990

  license product key a vista = an installation of vista on a computer

  but you can reinstall this dvd and product key of vista on the same computer as many times as necessary to make it work again properly on that computer

  If it is an oem product key, it is related to the original computer that it is installed on this computer life

  If a retail product key you can transfer it to another computer, but once more it can only be installed on a computer at any time

  Hey Bjarnikr

  If you have already reinstalled vista and you don't know the product key we can not help you

  If you had contacted these forums before you reinstalled vista we helped you with key finder programs

  but as this is a new installation of vista not activated we cannot help you find the product key

  If it is preinstalled, I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your computer and ask them about recovery disks

  normally, they do not require you to select a product key when you use them to reinstall vista

  you don't say how you reinstalled vista

  and a vista license = a vista installation

  and the oem licenses cannot be transferred to another machine

  the retail license can be transferred, but that only one installation per license is allowed at any time

• Product key for Vista Home Premium...

  I had my computer fixed recently, due to a virus... But I got home quite some time now.  It has worked out very well, except occasionally, a pop-up appears, telling me: "product key of Windows Vista Edition Family Premium you typed is invalid for activation.

  I have NO IDEA what this means and why it would be showing now.  I have not tried to install or remove anything to do with Windows Vista.  I only did my "normal thing" (games) on the computer.  Help, please...

  Call the store where you had this problem and ask them what they have done. They need to do this right. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Can't activate Windows 7 after re - install, have the product key for Vista but not W7

  Hello

  My father-in-law asked me to help him with his laptop because he had a lot of problems with it. After a lot of work trying to solve the problems, we have decided to re - install Windows because it seemed to be the easiest solution. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the installation disc. After some research, I discovered that it is possible to download an ISO of Windows 7 on Digital River and put it on a USB key to create a pseudo reinstall drive. I looked under the laptop and saw that the product key was still visible on the sticker, so I moved and re-installed Windows 7 using a USB key that had the right file ISO on it.

  However, it is only after you have reinstalled Windows 7 that I realized that the laptop came with Windows Vista and which is what provided the product key. It seems that the laptop has been upgraded to Windows 7 after, but my father-in-law doesn't remember anything about it since it is not too good with computer and the laptop belonged to his son.

  Now, we have a new installation of Windows 7, but I can't understand how to activate it. I would really appreciate the help as I already put a lot of time on this and cannot find a solution.

  Thank you.

  Managed to find a working link to a file image of vista and installed on the laptop. Everything seems fine now.

  Thanks for the help.
