Thank you kasmir2112

Your Dell should have a "Recovery" to restore Vista partition (no product key required when you use the recovery partition), use it to reinstall Vista: http://www.ehow.com/how_2134715_dell-windows-vista-factory-settings.html

Then use your Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade, enter the Windows 7 product key that came with the upgrade when prompted.

Then activate by phone (if any, as the key of Win 7 was already used once before).

  • My windows product key is not valid.

    Hello

    My windows product key is not valid. It shows that I don't ' have a genuine windows, and so I entered the product key to activate

    and its not to validate. It was workiing before, just do not know what happened.

    Help, please.

    Thank you!

    I wanted to tell the name of version (e.g. Windows 7 Home Premium) printed on the sticker.  Is the version currently installed on the PC of the same version?  Check in Control Panel > system page.  The number is the ID of the product that is not supposed to be the same as the key.

    If the versions are identical, then the problem is a bad character entered, almost always.

    If the product key is readable, then you can certainly use it to Clean install Windows Upgrade 10. Look over the steps and ask in return if you have any questions.

  • I've upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 last week. I reinstalled Microsoft Office Standard 2007, but the website says that my product key is not valid.

    The software was initially loaded on the computer that has been upgraded.  The upgrade would not work, so the technician needed to install the full version of Windows 7.  When I try to install Office 2007 Standard, the registration Web site says that the product key is not valid. The software can be loaded on three computers (that took place), but a computer is the computer I want to re - install the program on.

    Use the phone activation option and speak to an operator.
