Vista Basic
I've had my laptop stolen, Dell system and had another Dell Inspiron 710 M available. The problem is my stolen Dell was running Vista Basic and my old Dell is running XP. I want to install the base of Vista on my old Dell being all my files I had saved on the Vista format. I have stolen the laptop Vista disk but no product key. When I install Vista on the new laptop computer it is not original, and I upgrade to Windows 8, but cannot unless I can get Vista loaded without restrictions. How can I get the product key when I have the operating drive?
Hello
You cannot transfer the license from Vista Basic to the Dell stolen that has XP installed on it.
Preinstaled (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) are OEM licenses and are related to the first machine that they are installed on and are not transferable.
See you soon.

The license sticker is for Vista Business and Vista Basic is preinstalled
I just bought a Satellite Pro L300, which was supposed to have Vista Business installed.
When I turned on the laptop and went through the initial installation of the operating system and configuration, Vista Basic installed, without ever asking me a license key.
The Home license sticker at the bottom of my laptop shows "Windows Vista Business OEMAct".
How to install Vista Business? There is no CD/DVD in the sealed box that the laptop came in so I have no extra programs to install.
I bought this model because supposedly I could downgrade from Vista Business to XP.
Thank you!
It's really a case of contact Toshiba by phone or email, form (support/Contacts page).

Phone L40 (PSL43E) Pro - upgrade to Windows 7 Vista Basic
Hello
I was throughout the forums and have not really found the answers I was looking for.
I did a new install of Windows 7 on my L40 but I get questions with bsod, random blocks etc so I thought it was time I did something. When I did the installation initially he wasn't any official Windows 7 drivers download (which I see now there).
I was wondering if someone had made the trip from Vista Basic to Pro 7?
And if so if you upgrade the BIOS (like updating the BIOS description States it is for Windows Vista only?) and if there is anything that I might need to know (as I see that a few people have been complinaing to post the update of the dead motherboard?).Also, the expression "Value package" keeps popping up on the forum, I can see that there is a download of Windows 7 for this although the description to download again claims that it is for use with Windows Vista only?
I'll be happy to write to the top a complete race for future reference is that I could get a few more "confirmed" information
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello
To be honest I m L40 not owner but I installed Windows 7 on my old Win XP laptop and it works even if Windows 7 was not official published for this device.
Usually nothing should be wrong, that you can download here the VAP for Win 7, which was released for other series of mobile most recent. The VAP does not depend on the series notebook its compatible with all models.
There are also a lot of users in the Satellite L forum which has installed Win 7 on the L40 and it works correctly.

Im trying to fill the network so my ps2 connections can use the signal wireless to my laptop running vista Basic. When I click to bridge, I get a message saying that I need at least 2 internet connections. is this in any way about this?
Hi Jer9009,
Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.
· Could you give the exact error code or error number you get?
To connect multiple computers, install a network adapter in each and run a network CAT5 cabling to connect each one to a hub (and thus the other.) The computer that will serve as a transition will have a standard network card for wired and a wireless network adapter that will connect to the wireless (WAP) access point or gateway on the second network.
A network bridge is software or hardware that connects two networks or more so that they can communicate. You can create only a single bridge network on a computer, but a bridge can handle any number of network connections.
For more information, see the link: create a network bridge:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Create-a-network-bridge

Unable to upgrade to Windows Vista Basic to Windows XP on hp pv6000
Original title: upgrade
upgrade vista basic to windows xp on hp pv6000 and my wireless is not wrking nor showing in my taskbar please help
Hello
Vista to XP is a downgrade!
After installing XP, did you get XP drivers on HP website? See...
http://WWW8.HP.com/UK/en/support-drivers.html
.. .to locate your particular model, then download and install the XP drivers (if there no, no guarantee if your PC comes with Vista originally).
I tried the model number you gave, but there are 41 possible matches, so I think that pv6000 is a "series" rather than a specific model number.

Installation of Windows Vista Basic 32-bit
Hello, I try to install windows vista basic 32 bit edition on an old laptop. He had originally windows vista basic 32-bit edition.
I have the windows install key.
The laptop's hard drive was fried and I do not make a backup of the operating system, also, he came with a "factory default disk" or the windows recovery disk.
It came with a windows anytime upgrade disc ' ", he said can repair a current installation of windows, or install the operating system.
Hard drive, I have currently in there has a version of vista business and the timer is exhausted, there also some conflicts pilot being that the hard drive has come to a laptop different and some aspects of drivers and other software refuse to be deleted.
My question would be: can I install windows vista basic 32 bit with the disk at any time to upgrade, if yes how?
Thank you
I discovered that you can indeed install windows with the upgrade disk.
My laptop is now in good working condition.

Windows Vista Basic colors - no option to change the colors?
If I open the appearance settings I have the option to select a color scheme, like that I use which is Windows Vista Basic color scheme. However there seems to be no way to change the colors of the regime. I want to change default bluish tints to something different. If I hit the Advanced button, it has a clunky menu to change the color of windows, fonts, and other. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. I changed the colors, but they do not apply in all cases and I'm still stuck with the blue wire.
What is going on? Is easier to change the colors of the window? It makes no sense to me.
Thank you
Tom
Here is an article on how to change the color scheme in Vista: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394603(v=VS.85).aspx. NOTE: There are some limitations for Vista Basic so pay attention to them and use the options that they need, and you should be able to do.
If this does not work, market, the system cannot be activated for color schemes... Here is an article on how to enable this feature in all versions of Vista:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/182471-color-scheme-allow-prevent-change.html.
Here is an article on how to change appearance advanced settings in Vista which can also help if the above is:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/78281-advanced-appearance.html.

Windows Vista Basic has been freezing after sitting idle in normal mode and safe mode.
Windows Vista Basic and was freezing after sitting idle in normal mode and safe mode. A few months ago, we had this problem and I replaced the hard drive. It was fine for a bit, but is distributed upward. The time that it will sit idle are shortened. I did a scan for malware and removed everything that was out there, obviously this isn't the hard drive and it is used for the most part just internet and e-mail, no new programs have been loaded since the new hard drive.
