What Vista I have
I have a friend who bought a laptop Toshiba from Circuit City when they were going out of business. He received no CD, etc.
His hard drive crashed then, we put a new.
I can read the product key, but I can't read what version of Vista is. IM pretty sure it was a 64-bit version. I'd like to get the operating system reinstalled for him.
How will I know if it was the home, business, Premium?
Thank you.

Contact Toshiba at the link above and give them the number of series/model number.
Or in the specifications of the system for this Toshiba model.

How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact Toshiba at the link above and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.
There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Hello
You can contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
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 F11 at startup. (Power on / start)
You can also make your own recovery discs.

Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
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.
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

Sticker license Vista missing - have product key, but NO version
Hi all
I am currently working on a laptop that originally shipped with Windows Vista. The original hard drive failed and the system is unable to boot from it.
I have a replacement for the system HARD drive, but the license sticker to Windows Vista on the bottom of the laptop disappeared, and although I can read the product key, I can't tell which version of Windows Vista this appies to (for example, 'Basic', 'Home premium' etc.).
I tried the site of the manufacturer without success and is not any support for system recovery. I have Windows Vista OEM discs, but I'm not sure who the product key to apply to. is there a way to tell? This information can be found by browsing the files on the original defective HDD?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Call the manufacture, they should have a record of your purchase. Once you are able to identity what version of Vista you have to find a friend with a 'Detail' of Vista installation DVD and use it to install (you choose the version of Vista you have ordered) Vista using your product key.

How to determine what Vista Home Premium has been installed
Several years ago, I bought two copies of Vista Home Premium operating system. I used on a desktop computer and the other left in the drawer. Unfortunately, I was not which of the two copies that I used. Now, I would use the second copy. Y at - it a simple way to determine what copy, I have already installed and that is the unused copy?
Hello HowardTeten,
There's a freeware app called Magic Jelly Bean http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/ it is a keyfinder. Download and run that and it will tell you which product key you use. All you need to do is then check to the back of the case of Windows to see which matches.

How can I detect or determine what hardware I have in my office?
Is there a web page on the HP site where I can type my HP serial number and determine what equipment I have in my office? I can't find a page like this on the HP website. It's easy to do on the Dell site. Also, if there are a few tools I can run to automatically detect the HW, that would be great. I don't want to break the box to figure it all out.
OK, the link says I can have one of the 4 possible different video cards. Lame pretty if you ask me to HP. With Dell, I can get the exact set of HW used when the machine has been built since my serial number. Save me from having to break open all the boxes during the installation of things.
Anyway, thanks, looks like I have to crack open my machines.
