Jim Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Does anyone have a Dell windows Vista disk that I can borrow or scrounge a copy of ? It's all legal. I have bought a cheap laptop from work for my grand daughter and it's wiped completely clean. It IS licensed for Vista and I have to source the disk to install it. I've looked all over the place but can't find where to get it from. I use the license key from this laptop to authorise the software after installation so it's all done properly.

niggle Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 If it an authorised dell won't they supply one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Jim I can't help with Vista, but I've got a licensed copy of XP. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Is it a Dell one Brian. They put something in their system so only a Dell disk will do. I tried my Dell windows 7 disk. It installs OK but won't authorise with either code. If I can't get a Vista disk I may come back to you. Thanks for the offer Brian.

Rob Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I chucked them out by the bucket load (literally boxes of them discs). I might still have one. I will go look! R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Jim, you should be able to do this through Dell PC Restore or Microsoft Windows® System Restore, I would check it out. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 If you can find a link on the Dell site and send it to me that'd be great. I just keep going around in circles Thanks. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
