Stolen laptop HP with Windows Vista original

Hello

I have a question. I am from Slovakia. My laptop HP Pavilion DV5-1040ec was stolen from the House. It may be possible?   I have the original Windows Vista on this laptop. Can send all my mail with the place where this laptop to download the 02.05.2010 refresh? This laptop have no update for a long time.   I can send my MAC address and number of installation of Vista, but only for the right people.

Uou should contact police to report the theft.  If ythey knows your email address and actually uses it and maybe even your TCP/IP information (if static), they may be able to trace on the computer activity at the location, it is used from (but it depends on a lot of things including knowing your system informaton and ISP and whtther or not the ISP will cooperate).  And it won't be easy in all cases except perhaps for a good and experienced hacker on the police force.  Chances are they changed settings after having been stolen so it could not be traced this way.  In any case there is absolutely no way that Microsoft can help you here.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    Hey Bireshwari

    a vista recovery disc you already have is one of the ways that you normally use on a preinstalled vista machine to reinstall

    you start from the recovery disk

    to boot from the dvd drive to be able to you will see a way to get into the bios Setup at the bottom of the screen or command menu start

    It would be F2 or delete etc to enter the BIOS or F12 etc. for the start menu

    Change boot order it do dvd drive 1st in the boot order

    If this is not the good disk read this information below

    Contact the computer manufacturer 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 F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

    Hello

    You uninstall not she, you reinstall Vista on top of it

    You have the Vista DVD, so do a clean install with it.

    As Vista is pre-installed you will need probably not the Producr Key that is on the sticker on your laptop if you use of the manufacturer provided recovery disk

    If you need it, insert the product key from the sticker on the laptop case

    Boot from the Vista DVD and follow the instructions of the manufacturer.

    Make sure that the CD / DVD Drive (optical drive) is the 1st in the boot order.

  • HP laptop purchased with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7 - laptop damaged

    Hello

    I bought a laptop HP with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7. Now, the laptop is damaged for the 2nd time. I would go for a locally assembled desktop computer with Intel, last configuration chipset.

    Can I use Win Vista / Win 7 license key on my desktop? What installer I use (Win Vista or Win 7)? and how do I get the installer?

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards

    PAL

    Hello

    You cannot transfer the license of Vista.

    If Windows 7 Upgrade was not part of this upgrade offering free back then, you can transfer, but you need an operating system to be installed to upgrade.

    Read this information and you will understand what I mean:

    If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

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

    Only retail Operating System license 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.
