Windows XP has been installed on Vista to accidentlly
I need to know how to reinstall Vista. My son has been download a lot of things and made the computer crash. Instead of telling Me if I could fix it or do a restore on it. He tried to fix it himself. He used our old disk Windows XP pro. All he saw was asumed WINDOWS and it's the right disc. He had the key attached to the Cd case that he didn't need the vista one. Grrrrrrr... So my question is how do I get it back to Vista. Preinstall the software and did not come with a disc. It doesn't have the sticker on the back that has the vista key. It says "Windows Vista Home Premium OEMAct". My computer is an Emachine ET1161-07. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hey AngieEllen
Contact emachines and ask him to send you the vista recovery disc
they do normally for a nominal dimension
While you talk with them, ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall vista back to factory standards
pressing F10 or F11 at startup will normally begin the process of recovery on some computers
but check with them for the exact key sequence

How to find which version of Windows 7 has been installed? No hard drive.
I need to find what profesinal of windows 7 was installed, I replaced the drive, no cost and it is not in the original configuration. Thank you.
Hello
Contact the manufacturer of your computer and give them the serial number, because they must have a record of your machine and what has been installed on it.
Have you looked in the compartment of the COA / product key, if it is a laptop?
________________________________________________
If you can't find it
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.
The relocation method above does not normally 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.
See you soon.

Replacing hard drive and Windows 7 has been installed now can not activate
Original title: WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE
Had to replace the hard drive on my desktop. A Windows Vista. Came back with Windows 7 Ultimate installed. Now I can't turn it on. As of just put Windows Vista on.Hello
Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista. You cannot use the recovery Partition method because it should be replaced by the installation of Windows 7...
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.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased 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.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
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:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
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.

Nothing worked and I'm pulling my hair out. I use WMC with an HDHomeRun and a map of Time Warner cable. This facility worked well for more than a year before installing this update. The machine is a Dell XPS 8300 running windows 7 SP1. I'm unable to watch all channels protected by DRM and I lost all my legally registered content. It is a disaster and cost me 30 hours and counting. Anyone have any ideas?
I don't know your problem, but 3004394 has caused a lot of problems for a lot of people - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/windows-update-kb3004394-issues/ace25277-7f65-4486-bc44-c1b106907a18.
Microsoft have apparently released an update of replacement/deletion for it - https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3024777?wa=wsignin1.0
But to a few other posts on this forum, it seems to fix everything for everybody. If all goes well it can help you.
If not, allows to see what MS themselves have to say.

I would like to know where to find a friend app has been installed on my phone and who else is listed on it? I would love the history of this app on my phone for today's date, please. I changed my phone a couple of times, because the application was initially installed, but I can't work when it has been installed or that has first been listed on it... where I'd get that information from? I do my back ups on my laptop that uses OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.4 on iTunes. Thank you.
Locate the app in iTunes > window Apps, select it, and press Cmd + I to get info. The file tab should show which account it was acquired on and when. Another I don't think that there is no history, that you can get. All you can see is a current list of those you follow and you allowed to follow you.
