    Original title: old Dell laptop broke down.

    Hello

    You can contact Dell and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    If this method has not been destroyed by the last re - install, and if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    With a Dell, you press F8 at startup and follow the instructions

    http://www.Dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?docid=266618

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    I got Photoshop elements 13 (install the disk version, install the download version) as a gift, but don't have a hard drive on my HP Ultrabook.  After you enter the redemption code to get the serial number, I expected (seemingly naively) to have the possibility to choose a downloadable version of the product to begin the installation.  Anyone know if there is a way to redeem this for get a downloadable version?

    the program is free.  the serial number to activate is what costs money (and what you received if all goes well in this gift).

    There is no upgrade for the editions for teachers and students. You can continue to use the version you use, or you can buy CS6 with no upgrade price, or subscribe to creative cloud. However, I believe that if you are still eligible, you are offered a discount on creative cloud.

  • I don't have the activation code for my Windows Vista.

    OT: activation code.

    I have a computer dell laptop with windows vista. The OS has been corrupted and I had to reinstall Vista.  I lost the original disk, but concluded that a backup I had made when I got the computer. It worked, but I don't have the activation code. I called Dell to ask them to send me disks of software for the software I got when I bought the computer. They are my account, but was told that they no longer support vista. For $200.00, they could get my computer work. I told them it worked. I just need the disc or activation code. They said that Microsoft would not let that happen. I don't know why. I bought the software, when I bought the equipment. It's mine.

    I called Microsoft. Microsoft said that they no longer support Vista. They said buy a new computer or a new copy of Windows. I have four computers, without counting those at work. My other computers use Windows 10. I use the vista computer to play music. I know that I can buy a new computer for 200.00, but the Vista computer is all I need. I have that I just need a code to activate it. Because Microsoft does not sell, does support it, just give me a code. Microsoft tech support guy told me: 'go to the black market on the internet. Do a search for activation codes. I said, OK, given that Dell will not help me with the products that I've bought from them, and Microsoft doesn't help me with the product they make and Microsoft makes me refers to the black market, I guess that's my only option. »

    A search of the internet has shown that there are a lot of people with my problem and many solutions of the product to keygens keys lists. But so far none of them have worked, and my anti-virus try to protect myself against malware. Y at - it REALLY No. MICROSOFT SOLUTION to MY PROBLEM, BUT THE BLACK MARKET?

    But you never mention looking for him:

    The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

    With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, 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.

    If Pro 10 Windows was preinstalled on your computer, see how in-depth instructions downgrade:

    How Downgrade Windows preinstalled 10 for Windows 7/8.1

    As mentioned in the article, it is your responsibility to facilitate access to Windows 7 Professional reinstall media. He may be borrowing retail upgrade or full version of media or OEM System Builder.

    You can use the following utility to download the ISO of Windows 7 Professional:

    Microsoft Windows and Office ISO download tool - HeiDoc.net

    Instructions for activation phone activation use after decommissioning in detail article I linked at the start. No need to buy Windows 7 Professional.

    Instead of replace, you might want to consider dual booting:

    How to: Dual Boot Windows 7 or Windows 8 with Windows installed 10 first

    If what you bought is an OEM System Builder Windows 10 Pro license, then you can indeed buy Windows 7 Professional.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)
