Hello

There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

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

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

And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

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

  • Where can I get a Windows 7 Ultimate product key?

    Recently, I rebuilt my computer Windows 7 Ultimate, replacing the motherboard and adding a new SSD. I used a product key from one of my other computers to do the installation thinking I will get a new product key later.

    Now, I can not find where to buy a new product key Windows 7 Ultimate. I can't install Windows 10, I want to keep my Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Where can I get a new product key for Windows 7 Ultimate? Whenever I go to MS I am redirected to a page telling me the wonders of Windows 10, which I don't want.

    Thank you

    You should consider a different edition if you can not get Windows 7 Ultimate.

    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.

    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.

  • Tecra M7 - where can I get drivers for Vista x 64 or Windows 7 x 64?

    Hello

    I have a beautiful M7 Tablet and I must admit that despite all the problems on the material, I like the laptop toshiba is very sad but never, they come out all the drivers 64-bit for windows vista or windows 7 then what am I supposed to do? Toshiba does not provide support for this computer seriously.

    as toshiba really is absurt, last year I contacted them about a problem with my scanner, dust was between the plastic and the LCD screen through the lock on top and they said they're going to format my computer and all viruses will be gone? I thought, I don't want a format, physical dust gets in my screen...

    It's a model doesn't mean they can stop providing updates driver for the system.

    It is a 64-bit processor, it supports 4 GB of ram, is a tablet pc, yes the material is probably 4 years old or more but still is the best Tablet I've ever used, I paid 2000 + USD (Tecra models are business models or they used to be) and toshiba provides no drivers...

    Do not tell me to install win7 32 bit or vista, which makes no sense, I have 4 GB of ram, I have a 64-bit processor but a 32 bit os which is totally bs too
    Anyone know where I can find the drivers, when I call they tell me to tech support...

    Hello

    First of all I agree with you that the Tecra laptops cost dear and are professional laptops but you shouldn't t forget that on OS 32-bit the most applications run correctly and some older applications, they are necessary in business sometimes does not properly on the 64 bit OS.
    So I think that for business 32 bit OS is fast enough, because you use 3.2 GB of RAM you should be enough if you n t new play 3D games.

    Of course, it would be nice to have 64-bit drivers, but you can collect http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/ it yourself. Most of the Vista drivers are also working on Windows 7, you need to find Vista drivers.
    Here are some examples where you can search:
    [www.intel.com]
    [www.realtek.com]
