  • Get windows Vista to reinstall on my computer

    Original title: Getting windows 7 to install in my computer

    My laptop with windows vista crashed. He came with a cd to reintall the operating system and I did not know that I should make a cd image and system restore. The flagship product is clearly printed on the bottom of my computer. I tried to buy a cd of windows vista retail, but the only option available in internet is oem versions, which I have no idea how to install. The microsoft Web page does not show an option to buy older versions of windows. Given that my laptop is 5 years old, the new version of windows 8 will be not possible to install. What can I do to solve my problem? Is there a website where I can buy windows vista to reinstall in my pc? Thank you for any information you can give me to fix my computer.

    Thank you for your information.  I'm not an experienced person in the facilities of computers, download so the procedure you describe to download windows from the internet links will not help me.  I don't have anyone who could borrow me a cd of windows.  So my only option is to find where I can buy a full commercial copy to do a clean install.  Amazon only offers oem versions and I don't know how to do the installation which is supposed to be done in a new computer.  Mine is old and already had a windows operating system that unfortunately crashed before that I made a backup of the system.

    Sort of, I really appreciate your help. Best regards.

    It is understandable that the download and make your own disks can become a daunting task.

    There is no need to buy a new edition of the sales at retail.

    There are still two other suggestions I gave you and the restore partition method:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    It is regrettable that none of your friends have this DVD but if you happen to meet a friend or co-worker who is one that you can borrow and use a DVD of Microsoft Vista, 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 your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

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

  • Will not activate Windows Vista on a HP computer.

    The motherboard on my computer went bad and wouldn't even start Windows Vista.  I replaced the motherboard and reinstalled Vista, but when I type the product key for Windows Vista Home Premium OEMAct HP sticker: [redacted key product], I get the message: "the product key you have entered does not seem to be a valid Windows Vista product key.»  Please check your product key, and then type it again.  I'm not able to activate Windows.  Please help me.

    Hello

    Since you have changed your motherboard the system configuration will be different, and this is the reason why you're not able to activate your copy of Windows Vista. I suggest do phone activation and check if you are able to activate your copy of Windows Vista. Click on the link below.

    Hello
    I hope someone can help me. I am unable to boot into windows vista 32-bit, so I downloaded the vista recovery disk and get an oxo error code what it means (thanks in advance)?

    You don't give any info on what was the original problem with the computer.

    You have set the Bios Setup to boot from the CD/DVD drive?

    At startup, it will say press F2 or delete key to go into Bios/Setup, or maybe F12 to go to the Start Menu.

    And have you tried also to tap F8 at startup and choose Safe Mode from the list of Boot Options?

    Use up arrow key to do this, press on enter.
