Why isn't Windows PE 2.0 available for free?
I paid for my legal copy of Vista Home Premium when I bought my computer, why so PE 2.0 available only if I buy a retail copy of the CD? Microsoft makes service packs available for free why isn't PE in one of these?
I have a program to create images of backup of my hard drive. Without a rescue boot disk, the image is useless. I want to be able to retrieve my whole hard drive in the event of a disaster, not only my documents and files. I don't want if sit and wait for SP2 to retrieve all published updates. That could take days. Macrium Reflect is a free software that allows you to do exactly that, the problem is, Vista is locked, I have to pay for the version that has the PE file that will allow me to create my rescue CD. I can respect the fact that you don't want other software distributors using Microsoft property without paying, but I already paid for Vista. What other programs Ichose to run with him should not be hindered by the latter. Windows XP it didn't need, and these people are happy as clams. Me. I'm not such a happy camper. Vista was not one of the best products from Microsoft and I'm about to go back to XP, or jump up to Windows 7. Vista was nothing more than a prolonged headache.
There must be a way to get Windows PE for free?
You paid for an OEM license of the manufacturer of the computer; not a Microsoft retail license...
It is up to the manufacturer of the computer, what they have on their recovery disks.
They only have to provide you with the means to reinstall Vista to factory settings; what they are doing.
They provide an easy way for computer users to recover and as soon as POSSIBLE running.
It is a good alternative:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
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.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista , and just serves as a Windows PE for recovery of your PC interface. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit
See you soon.

I want to improve my windows 7 to windows 10 but the windows 10 driver is not available for my computer compaq presario cq40 604 - tx.when driver windows 10 laptop will be available for this laptop?
I think that HP has released/posted drivers for all models that will be supported. All have support do not at this stage are not likely to see them.
Windows 10 includes a large number of drivers for the hardware older - but no way to know for sure before the upgrade. I'd certainly do Windows 7 recovery discs before you perform the upgrade.

Why can't I download pages from apple for free on iPad mini 4?
I was under the impression that iWorks is now downloadable for free on new devices, however, I am unable to dl mini apple iPad pages 4? Someone knows why? Or how can I? App Store gives me only option at $9.99
Hello, Msquared23!
Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! I see you are trying to download the app to Pages on your new iPad mini 4. I use iWork apps on my iPad all the time, so I can see why you would want to get it for yourself! I'd be happy to help you.
According to this document, it appears that these applications are free on the new iOS devices: get Apple apps for free on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
As you see a price there instead of a 'Get' button, we will have to get you in touch with one of our counsellors in the iTunes Store, so they can focus on this with you. Click on this link to reach:
Contact the Apple Support - when you get there, click on "iTunes and Apple Music" and then "iTunes Store".
Have a great rest of your day!
