• How can I uninstall windows vista if it is not authentic

  How to uninstall windows vista if it is not authentic

  Hello

  You do not uninstall as such.

  You would normally buy a legitimate operating system disk / license and do a clean install with it, by removing the non-genuine Vista during the installation process.

  Or you can download this program (Darik Boot and Nuke) > make a Bootable Disk with him > Boot and wipe the hard drive of everything:

  http://www.DBAN.org/

  You can buy a legitimate operating system if you want to continue to use this computer.

  See you soon.

  Bottom line: it's ok. It's normal.

  If you don't have AV programs above, here's how to restart Windows Defender:

  Start button > in the search box, typeServices > press the Enter key > scroll to find Windows Defender, click on it >...
  topic status , it must be said... Has begun
  under Startup Type, it must be said... Automatic
  If it does not say that, right click on Windows Defender > click Properties >
  in Startup Type, click on the pointer to the right and select automatic
  to the service status, click Start
  Click OK when finished.
