Windows Vista key for different edition is installed, how to fix?

I have an Acer PC with his side a certificate for Windows Vista Business. However, Windows Vista Home Premium has been installed on it. It is now demanding activation, indicating that previously the typical product key is not valid and not accepting is not the Vista Business product key.

Is it possible (non-fissuration) I can change the installed Windows Vista Business edition so it will accept the key, without having to do a reinstall complete? Keeping in mind I can't even log.

Otherwise, a CD to install Windows Vista normal company accepts OEM Acer product key or I will have to try to find the disc from Acer?

Colin - I think the connection problem because the system is RTM, rather than SP2 - the RTM will feature Mode of Redcued heavily neutered if not authentic, that allows only access via a browser.

It should be possible to rearm the machine to make it functional again for purposes of data recovery...

The openg screen, it will offer to open a browser - if your default browser is IE do the following (it won't work in Chrome or Firefox - later)

Open a window of IE and in the address bar, type C:\Windows\System32 and press the Enter key - IE should open the folder.

Look down the list of files until you find CMD.exe (or just CMD)

Right-click on the file and select run as administrator

In the command prompt window, type the following command

CSCRIPT SLMGR. VBS /REARM

and press the Enter key - after a few seconds, you should get a 'success' message, as well as a request to restart - are, and you should have another 30 days to resolve your problem.

If your default browser is not IE, then start using safe and open IE, in Internet Options, change the default for IE browser, then restart in normal mode and proceed as above.

    32-bit to 64-bit, or 64 bit to 32 bit is done by a new installation using a full version of the operating system.

  • Windows 7 upgrade for a computer originally installed

    Hello

    When I tried to order a kit of windows 7 to upgrade my laptop Pavilion dv6 1215, I met the following message appears:

    "Our database Specifies an upgrade of windows 7 to a computer installed with vista premium.

    What it means? It sounds a special program, already installed on my windows vista original? Or I can install the coresponding windows version 7 with the same product key that vist, labeled on the back?

    Disk upgrade upgrades the preinstalled operating system from Vista to Windows 7. However if subsequently, you need to reinstall Windows 7, you will have to restart with Vista and then rerun the upgrade. Don't forget to make your Vista Recovery before moving to Win 7.

    Best option in my opinion made an Image of hard drive after installing Win 7, to easily restore it later without having to start with Vista. Useful video HERE

    Use the program above to find the product key in your operating system Vista running and active.

    If a desktop computer: Watch next or back.
    If a laptop: look on the underside.

    If a recovery disk, most of the manufacturer's recovery disks do not need a product key to get back to factory settings.

    This is the limit of the help that we can give you a missing product key.
