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

  • 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.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    And Microsoft sells more than Vista.

    Try this:

    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 the website of the manufacturer of your computer (In your particular hardware manufacturer case) and get the latest drivers for your particular model computer or laptop.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    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

    Hello Toshiba Help Center

    Please help me solve this problem

    Three years ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba with Windows Vista preinstalled. I also received a DVD with her recovery. I now want to reinstall Windows and completely format the hard drive - however, the sticker with the product key Windows under the laptop is unreadable. So what I did... I formatted my laptop for windows 7 and after a few months, I want to recover my product key and install windows vista pre - with the original product key that sound now
    unreadable...

    Is it possible to get it back by, my laptop series No, or...
    Best regards, TOSHIBA
    IM bluebird.jeff

    Hello, Jeff

    At first, I must say that it is not toshiba Help Center, but user forum created by Toshiba, so if you wait for the response from Toshiba people here you are in the wrong place.
    In any case, in this forum, you can pick up some very useful information and a lot of people here can help you with your problems.

    Return to described the issue.
    Unfortunately you do not understand how it works with the product key and Windows Setup, so I'll try to help you with this.
    Each computer toshiba laptop comes with preinstalled operating system (recovery image) and the product key at the bottom of your laptop belongs to this version. With other words: when you buy the new laptop, you have to pay for hardware, operating system and a license for this preinstalled OS. Product key at the bottom is not a kind of universal product key and cannot be used for activation of another version of Windows.

    You can use the delivered Toshiba recovery disc that contains mage replicated several times and each time you will have activated the operating system. When you use the Microsoft disk for the installation of the OS you must have valid product key which belongs to this particular version.

    In your case product key is for Vista, and you cannot use it for Win7 activation. This product key is... unnecessary.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

    I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    Hello

    Your question is not very clear to understand.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

    There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.

    ___________________________________________________________

    And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  • Is it possible for me to install Local DVD retailer with the product key?

    Hello everyone.

    2 years ago, I bought a Podium with a PC attached from a local retailer. He gave me a Windows 7 Pro Sp1 32 - Bit DSP OEI DVD 611 and the Podium and Win 7 was already installed on it. I have not found any key on or in the DVD box. No sticker on the PC or the Podium. He charged me $ 175, I'm from India up to 10 200 /-rupees for the DVD. Now I have to install this DVD on the Podium, or at least on my laptop. Is it possible for me to install this DVD with the product key or what should I do?

    Thank you.

    MS sells more than winxp or win7, you will only be able to buy peoples who have old stock or used, and it easily gives a copies pirated / illegal.

    The keys are not sold on their own, but only with the installation media.

    There is no such thing as a ' 2 License User"for Windows.

    It * may * be for 2 processors. These 2 processors MUST be on the same physical motherboard.

    You use WIndows out-of-contract of license and will have to purchase a new license to the second machine.
