  Hello

  My personal opinion is that you buy a more recent machine as Vista Basic came on machines that have the material basis for it requirements.

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.

  If this is not available, Windows 8.1 not install and work properly for you.

• Windows Vista Home Basic activation Code is partially dissipated.

  I decided to change my operating system to windows Vista Home Basic. The problem is 2 letters on the license window have worn the label on the side of the computer. Is it possible to know what are the missing letters?

  Hello

  I suggest using a flashlight and magnifying glass and try and read the numbers.

  Others suggest to take a photo and enlarge the photo to read the doors numbers.

  _______________________________________________________

  Or try these methods.

  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.

  ______________________________________________________

  Install another operating system could destroy this option:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought 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.

  Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

  The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  Hey birch_2526

  There is no link of free and legal link for you to download vista basic to reinstall

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of vista recovery disc

  they do it for a nominal cost

  and also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to reinstall vista basic to how you bought your computer

  that will save you money if you don't have a recovery partition

  your hard drive will be wiped clean of everything during the resettlement process

  Back up all your data

• System Recovery Options Windows Vista Home Basic x 32 help

  I have a gateway with Windows Vista Home Basic x 32.  Recently, it would break any chance and will have to be turned off manually.  Some options in the start screen and I would always click on start windows normally.  Today, I went through the process and came up with the blue screen of death.  He said that if this is the first time you see this reboot, so I did.  Then the blue screen of death came once again, and he said to go in the system recovery options.  Having no idea how to do that I restarted again.  Then the recommended option was to go into system recovery thing, so I said to myself Oh well it will fix itself.  I went in there and he brought me to the system recovery option screen.  It is said to find my operating system in a list and there is no operating system indicating.  Then I read and it says if you do not have an operating system, then load the drivers here.  I click on that and there is a list of about 50 cases.  Inside of some folders are folders more.  I can't possible go through all records to find driver software that he wants me to.  I also never had a disc of windows vista with the purchase of the computer

• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition keeps looping and will not start

  Windows Vista Home Basic Edition will not boot to the Welcome screen. It keeps restarting loop. I tried to go into safe mode, but who does not start too. Loops of safe mode and return to the start screen.

  I have a dell laptop and I just restalled operating system. I had Windows Update set to automatically download and install. PC worked great until the next day (after the time programmed for automatic updates). I'm assuming that the started after some windows updates when installed. Unfortunately, I can not enter in Windows or Normal or Safe Mode.

  Bill

  If safe mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  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.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  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 is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. 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 it.

  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.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If it does not apply to you:

  Installation of XP instead of Vista:

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

  Then buy a disc XP and license.

  Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

  Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

• Windows Vista Home Basic - problem with the icons does not meet various Windows services after trying to download updates

  I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results.  First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel.  Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools.  For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update.  Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer.  Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears.  The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem.  My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero.  Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

  worm post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  One thing you can try try the system restore, safe mode.

  Start the computer in safe mode with networking capabilities (hold DOWN F8 while the computer starts).
