Vista OS, COSTS were necessary, but never had Vista OS DVD

I've been everywhere in the microsoft site and do not see where I can get the Vista Home Premium OS reinstall on a replacement hard drive.

I have the Vista Home Premium OS COA, but never received a multimedia version of the operating system. Where should I go to the MS website to find?

How can I replace?

  • I have an Apple TV 4th generation. He had since Christmas 2015. I love it! All of a sudden Siri left hear my orders. It shows in my TV screen, as it is to listen, but never hear my order.

    I have an Apple TV 4th generation. He had since Christmas 2015. I love it! All of a sudden Siri left hear my orders. It shows in my TV screen, as it is to listen, but never hear my order. Have tried all the tricks. Restart Apple TV, adjustments to settings etc... Nothing works. Just waiting to hear my order. The only other question that began at the same time, it is that the remote Siri now will control the volume on my TV. TV turns on and off with Apple TV, but volume control not responding. I now use the TV remote to adjust the volume.

    Please notify

    There is a problem with siri does not work when accessibility > zoom is enabled in the settings which I hope will be corrected in the next version, because now disable zoom works around this problem.

    I think that questions about the th volume control are a separate issue and possibly caused by something you did everything trying to solve the problem of siri. Have you checked the volume control settings are properly.

  • After re-installing vista OS - my vga on laptop adapter is most recognized using a projector (I use large screen TV) never had a problem before - now not even recognized

    As I said in the title - I reinstalled vista OS due to many files corrupted - my adapter vga on laptop now is no longer recognized.  Nothing happens when I plug in the power cord vga for the big screen TV or projector.  That's how I give presentations which is part of my job. I use a projector (I use TV big screen). Never had a problem before - now even not recognized.

    Once you do a reinstall:

    Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    See you soon.
