Windows XP Setup when Windows Vista is already installed
I already installed on my computer Vista Service Pack 2. It sucks. I bought Windows XP. How can I get rid of Vista and install Windows XP on the spot. ?
Hi RZunino,
If you have purchased a full version of XP then just put the XP CD in your CD/DVD-rom and restart your PC. As long as your BIOS is configured to allow the first boot CD/DVD ROM (all modern computers have CD/DVD as first boot device) the XP CD should start and you can install beigin. When it comes to "where you want to install" just install on your original Vista operating system.
One point to keep in mind. Before installing XP visit your PC manufacturers to make sure that XP drivers are available for your particular model. PC installed with Vista may not have XP drivers available in which case some hardware may not work correctly.

How can I request media for Windows Vista to re - install on my computer?
Re-installation of Windows Vista
Hello
The hard drive on my ispiron 530 has recently developed a fault and damaged my version of windows Vista.
One of my friends then installed a copy of windows 7, I think now is an illegal copy because it requires an activation key, that I don't have.
How can I get a copy of windows vista to re - install on the computer and I can use that came with my system activation key to activate it.
Thank you
Hello
Call Dell and ask them to provide you with a recovery disk to reinstall back to the factory settings.
Manufacturers that make normally for a fee.
Recovery of computer manufacturers discs normally do not require a product key of your share entry.
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
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 case will determine which 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
See you soon.
PS as you do not have a Vista disc read this:
If you have never received a recovery to buying disk, you should have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista from except if it has been damaged or removed from your drive hard when you install Windows 7...
You don't give any information about the replacement of the hard disk. Everything you say is that it developed a fault, that a friend installed Windows 7.
If you somehow fixed it and continue to use this drive, read about it using the recovery partition.
If using a new hard drive to ignore it.

After back back, very many updates of windows, my computer is full of problems and it is not representative of the restore points far enough back to correct. I want really to save my data and programs for flash drive (s) and then go for a full recovery of the system (return to factory).

Everything is included to aid Vista disk from the window which was not included when I bought my computer. Any help would be appreciated.

I have Windows 8 is installed and an iso of Windows 8.1 on my USB.
My previous version of windows (which is already installed on the hard drive) will erase if I boot from a bootable USB. Please help me!
When you upgrade to 8.1 Windows it will replace your Windows 8.0. The only way I know to have both is to buy a copy of Windows 8.1 and install on another partition or drive. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

If I bought a computer with windows 8 is already installed (windows 8 sucks) can I uninstall it and install windows 7? Windows 8 has to be the worst software ever. It is like going back to the iceage of computers. The LAGS and timing on is horrible. I expect right cruse, that she does not exist. It's like a person driving a car with their foot constantly on the brake.
You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 bit edition
I bought Windows Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 in a box in 2008, I installed the 32 edition because at the time I was told not all software will work with the edition 64 a month ago, I decided to windows 7 Ultimate Via Amazon purchase which proved be a copy of the counterfeit money and Amazon me has now repaid , so what I do, well I could buy another copy of windows 7 Ultimate or I could give the other Version of windows that came in the same box with a product key a go, so I removed and formatted the hard drive and reinstalled 64 bit version on my drive using the product key original that I used on the 32-bit Edition for four years and when I try to register the 64 bits edition, that is to say someone else using this product key, you will have to buy another key or a copy of windows 7. Well, I decided to wait until Windows 8 will be released, that's why I decided to try the Vista 64 - bit Edition?
Or better yet, I might switch to a Mac OS x system?
The answer is not to buy Windows 7 from a dealer on the market of Amazon. Stick to Amazon itself. Amazon Marketplace is as eBay and other auction sites and online delivery. It is composed of persons whose practices sales are questionable. You won't get counterfeit product from Amazon itself.
You have to solve the problem with Vista 64-bit using phone activation.
Activate by phone. http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc736912 (WS.10) .aspx
Or click Start and type ' slui.exe 4.
Do not answer all prompts automatic until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent.
If you continue to have problems with activation, run the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool

How do I get a Windows Vista disc, already have the product key?
original title: Windows vistaHey I have windows Vista Home Basic, but I lost and I've only had the key to the left somehow get the program without having to pay becous I have the key?
Hello
Here are the different ways to reinstall vista
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Pavilion a6220n: updated my BIOS after Windows 7 is already installed
Hello.
I bought an a6220n Pavilion in 2008 because he was very progressive. In 2010, I updated the video card with an ATI Radeon 4770 and upgraded to 4 GB of RAM.
Recently, I backed up all my stuff and restored the computer to factory settings. I installed 8 GB of RAM. Then I started Windows 7-64 bits of an installation disc.
So now Windows 7-64 bit is up and running. I think so. Internet seems to be very slow. It recognizes the 8 GB of RAM and video card, video card driver, and other system drivers are up to date.
I want to spend my CPU to a Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33 Ghz, but in order to do this, I'll probably have to update my BIOS. But when I try to update my BIOS Installer tells me this:

While this means? I need to restore to Windows Vista, upgrade the BIOS and then install on Windows 7?
Or is the BIOS of Windows 7-compatible Windows Vista? If this is not the case, where can I get the version of Windows 7?
Jj3down, welcome to the forum.
You can only update the BIOS to the operating system that came with the computer. In your case, Vista. This means that you need to perform a system recovery to return the computer to its original configuration.
