Remove Windows Vista from my 2 Funsion environment

Hello

I am merging 2 running on my iMac.  I was on Windows Vista, but happened to Windows XP I will use in the future.  My question is what would be the best way to remove Vista from my environment from virtual machines?

Thank you

If you really don't want / need the Vista virtual machine more and return the necessary disk space, simply remove the Vista VM folder and all the files inside.  If you think you might want to use later in time, then before you delete the folder, compress/archive/zip/stuffit/whatever the folder first if you have a smaller backup of the virtual machine.

  • 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!

    There is no download available from Microsoft Vista.

    Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send 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 determines which Edition is installed.

    Builders 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

    See you soon.

    p.s. If the old hard drive is still installed and running before you change on hard drives and you never received the to purchase recovery discs, you can make the recovery discs from the recovery Partition which should be on the old hard drive. You will need to request that the manufacturer how to do as each computer manufacturer has their own way of making records of this partition recovery.

    It depends on the old hard drive still works.

  • I am trying to reinstall Windows Vista from my drive hard can u help me__

    I need some help tryin to reinstall windows vista from my hard drive, I went on the recovery program who was here and burned a cd, but none of the programs on my computer it open so I need to know how to reinstall it from my disk hard please

    You normally have to boot from the recovery disc:

    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.

    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

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

    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 perform a recovery of the recovery hard disk Partition.

    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.

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

    For any questions/problems about the recovery process, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the computer.

    It is their software/recovery process, not Microsoft.

  • How to remove Windows Defender from Vista?

    Anyone know how to remove Windows Defender? It is not on the list of programs that can be uninstalled. When I try to remove it from the tree, I get a message that only a "TrustedInstaller" can remove it.

    It's been nothing but trouble I got my new PC in August. I spent in Avast and MalwareBytes, but I can't stop the system to get scans in tenacious Defender. I wanted to get rid of it because it will not update install. It keeps telling me that there are updates available, but the progress bar comes in with a small piece of the execution and the stalls.

    Updates Windows continues to tell me it is another Defender update available and also stops at install.

    Looks like Microsoft could do a better job of coordinating its products. I'm ready to throw the new computer and become a ludites.

    Help!

    I uninstall Norton before that I installed Avast. I went to 'Services' and 'arrested' Defender. Then I went to 'Properties' and 'Disabled' Defender. This should at least stop notifications. You can't repeat to you, I got it.

  • I removed Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows Vista 64-bit installed, but when I enter the key it says the key is already in use. How can I fix it?

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 bit edition

    I bought Windows Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 in a box in 2008, I installed the 32 edition because at the time I was told not all software will work with the edition 64 a month ago, I decided to windows 7 Ultimate Via Amazon purchase which proved be a copy of the counterfeit money and Amazon me has now repaid , so what I do, well I could buy another copy of windows 7 Ultimate or I could give the other Version of windows that came in the same box with a product key a go, so I removed and formatted the hard drive and reinstalled 64 bit version on my drive using the product key original that I used on the 32-bit Edition for four years and when I try to register the 64 bits edition, that is to say someone else using this product key, you will have to buy another key or a copy of windows 7. Well, I decided to wait until Windows 8 will be released, that's why I decided to try the Vista 64 - bit Edition?

    Or better yet, I might switch to a Mac OS x system?

    The answer is not to buy Windows 7 from a dealer on the market of Amazon.  Stick to Amazon itself.  Amazon Marketplace is as eBay and other auction sites and online delivery.  It is composed of persons whose practices sales are questionable.  You won't get counterfeit product from Amazon itself.

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  • Remove Windows Vista

    I installed Windows 7 from dual boot hard disk. The smallest partisian is 10 GB and is now complete with Vista and Windows 7. I need to remove Vista but were unable. Need help remove Vista or increase the size of the partisian.

    You wouldn't have to dual-boot Vista and Windows 7 on Partition 10GBs.

    A 10GBs Partition is normally a recovery Partition.

    I suggest that you do a clean install of Windows 7 on the good drive, removal of Vista during the process.

  • Helps to remove Windows Vista and install Windows 8

    I recently bought Windows 8 after an online test (aka Upgrade Assistant) from my computer that says it would work. However, when insert the disc of Windows 8, it is said showed an alert/warning that it may work for Windows 7 but can not for Windows Vista or XP. The salesman at Staples said it would work (so the part of why I bought it), but it might remove applications and software I had installed, take it back to factory settings. I'm fine with that, I don't mind re - install Office and my other software. I would be very happy if someone could tell me how to get Windows 8 to install and remove Vista. Here are my computer record compared to Windows 8 requirements:

    Processor - Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Quad CPU 2.4 GHz

    RAM: 4 GB

    Hard drive: 32 Bit OS, 350GB free 451GB

    Graphics card: DirectX 10, ATI Radeon HD 3450, screen resolution 1024 X 768.

    Your help is greatly appreciated, TIA!

    PS Sorry for my bad English. From Russia with love :-)

    Hello

    I know that this list of facilities is a little confusing for you, but you must understand that there are several different hardware platforms for each series laptop and it is logical that you should not install driver Intel if you have ATI graphics card.

    Important is to understand where you need to install display driver. Sorry, but for me this pretty logic is.

    About the FN control buttons, I can confirm what the previous forum user wrote. It is a part of VAP. VAP contains several applications. One of them is FLASH CARDS.
