• I would like to know which version of Windows Vista I have?

  Original title: PII deleted.

  I have a laptop HP pavilion dv6700 without the hard drive and I would like to know which version of Windows Vista the above key is for. Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  If the edition of Vista is not written on the COA sticker, I suggest that you ask in the Forums to Support HP about this:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/PSG/

  _________________________

  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.

  

  See you soon.

• I'd like to find which version of windows install I have?

  I have a HP Deskjet F4140 printer all-in-one. I work with vista 32 home premium.

  I have the installation disc and have also tried uninstall and install directly on the site of HP but get the error that says: "the device is not found" when you try to use the scan function. A possible solution is to check that I'm using the latest version of windows install. How can I check that I have.

  Press Win + R key combination to bring up the window "Run" and then type "msiexec" in the immediate window and press OK. You should see a pop-up window that shows the version number at the top.

• How to remove one of the editions of Windows that I currently have on my laptop?

  Original title: I have 2 OS on my laptop (home that came w / it. and professional because of the needs of the job I did the professional more so how can I remove the professional and keep the House?)

  I have a laptop HP Pavillion that came w / XP Media Center Edition OS on it. Then a little while the latter I had a job that I could telework and the company I went to work for the slot of the drive to add professional XP. So now I have the Media Center Edition and Professional Edition, and as you can guess the computer is very slow. Well I have that more employment and want to return to only 1 Media Center Edition OS. How can I remove the professional edition?

  Get a partition manager and use it to format the local disk drive holding the BONE you want to delete. After you're done merging now empty partition with the local disk that contains the OS Win XP Media Center.

  Caution when you do.

   http://notebooks.com/2011/02/25/how-to-restore-a-backup-from-an-external-hard-drive-in-Windows-7/
   
  -------------------
   
  The next thing you need to do is to reinstall the base license that you upgraded, Windows 7 Starter Edition or Home Premium.
   
  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
   
  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
   
   
   
  -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
   
  -HP use F9 on most of its systems
   
  -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems
   
  -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

  -Dell uses F12
   
   
   
  In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
   
   
   
  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
