Where can I download the Windows Vista Home Edition ISO?

I need editing family vista? is there a way to get the iso I have my product key, but need the disc...

Hello

There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

You can contact the manufacturer of your computer, if you have an OEM license and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

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.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

If this happens, you may need to try this instead

Use this guide for the retail of Vista licenses too:

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

Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

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

See you soon.

    Hello Ratheesh33,

    There is no source of Microsoft for you as a user to download files or installation iso files for Windows XP Edition family.  As such, download XP Home cannot be verified as authentic or malware free and should be avoided like the plague.

    Your post implies that you have the disc elsewhere.  Communicate with friends or family near the disk and ask them to send it to you.

    Or you can order a the manufacturer of your laptop recovery disk, if it is still available.

  • Where can I download a Windows Vista ISO?

    I bought a laptop from a friend and the copy of VISTA was vandalized... DVD... Argggh

    OK, I can get a real ISO without having to buy the DVD... I have the sticker at the bottom of the laptop genuine but I can't get it from the MSDN site...

    any suggetions?

    Thank you...

    If the laptop has a recovery partition, you should be able to reset to the factory settings. Google brand / the model of the laptop and 'restore factory' and you should be able to know how to do for this laptop.

  • Where can I download a Windows 7 Professional. ISO?

    Hi guys.

    My University distributed Windows 7 Professional for students on computerized courses.

    I want to format my hard drive and reinstall it. I have the product key (job properties window) but I don't have the disc until the University asked for it, after that I used it and I didn't get me a copy.

    I would like to know, is it an official microsoft site and trust, where I can download my version of W7 Pro for burning a disc to re - install after I have format my hard drive?

    Also, my "computer course" is actually in the music and video production, so I don't consider myself a computer wiz. I've never formatted my laptop in 3 years, I got it and have installed any version of windows on a formatted hard drive. I would be grateful for any advice you can give me for my planned format and reinstallation.

    Thanks in advance,

    James.

    see if this helps:

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
