Hello skilsaw,.
You will need to contact everywhere where it is online, you bought Windows 7 from about your product key.
And Product Key finder programs won't help you as you disappeared from your own hard drive by doing a cover of Vista...

I can't hear any sound in my headset when I plug in my laptop which has Vista SP2 installed.
I can't hear any sound in my headset when I plug in my laptop which has Vista SP2 installed. While my speakers work well, I cannot hear any sound in my headphones every time that I plug them in. And whenever I take off the helmet, I can hear clearly. However the same headphones work with another machine perfectly. I tried all the troubleshooting guides, but can't get my headphones to work with my laptop. Appreciate if a solution can be provided.

Hey taffyboss007
There is no download free legal vista
Contact acer and ask them to send recovery disks
they do it for a nominal cost
https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer
and ask them if you have a recovery partition to reinstall vista
you will normally need to press Alt + F10 to start the acer recovery process
Check with acer for the right combination of keys

I recommend that you create a system image of each computer by backing up the installations of Windows 7 on an external hard drive. This will allow you to save the penalty to restore in the future in case of failure:

I have a HP Pavilion 6500 CTO (?) vintage 2008 model. It came with Vista Premium. It is the only time that I forgot to make a recovery disk, but there is a sort of drive partitioned D that could be disaster recovery. Anyway. .. . . .
I made one of the first Windows 7 Premium Upgrade downloads (I still have the right to download a backup). I also bought 6 months later any when upgrading to Windows 7 Pro.
I would like to donate this laptop to a member of the family, so I would like to start with a clean slate of the operating system and drivers of origin if the wireless hardware and other works. Two Questions
1. If I create a recovery disc in the current state of the computer to have Win 7 Pro loaded, format the hard drive and then try to reinstall the OS from the recovery disk, which will load OS - Vista or Win 7 Pro?
2. see question 1 - it is the best way to offer a new beginning for the system with a reformat and reinstall OS, or is there a better solution? As I said, I don't have a recovery for the Vista operating system disk.
Thanks in advance,
W!

The question is a little more complicated. When he restores the computer to the original state, it also roll back updates to the BIOS, or are those left intact? Why ask? At the beginning, on this model of AMD, I had a fan / overheating issue that has been resolved by updating the bios to set when the fan on. I might have to reinstall this update of the bios of HP!
«mark the recovery partition as "active" and reboot, it will then start this partition and start the Recovery Manager»

Hi all. I recently bought my laptop with Windows 8 64-bit with a registry key. The OS was corrupted now and I need to reinstall it. Can anyone help me by explaining the process of Windows 8 download with purchase and installation on my previous operating system damaged with complete hard drive format.
If victory came preinstalled by the manufacturer of the laptop, this machine would have provided a way to recover as long as the plant, generally via a hidden restore partition, they would also provided instructions on how to create the recovery disks.
If you have purchased MS win8 could have downloaded the installation file, which should be recorded on an external
