Installing native Windows on a laptop?

Question

Microsoft

The laptop came with Windows Vista. Later, Win XP was installed on it, since the native installation disk was lost. Where can you get it? Or can you put a licensed Home basic and use the key on the back of the laptop?

Answer 1

Now many laptops have hidden partitions for restoring to the factory state (system + preinstalled programs), look for the treasured combination of buttons for your model, unless, of course, you touched the hidden partitions on the disk. And so - an OEM image, SP does not seem to be necessarily the same, but the version of Home, Pro, etc. must necessarily match. True, this is a violation of the license, but no one can verify this fact.

Answer 2

For a laptop, I just downloaded the regular original image (with SP). The key came up and activated the OS.

Answer 3

If you need to do “everything as it was when you bought it” and if the screw was not re-partitioned, there is a chance that there is a factory image of whist on the hidden partition. It remains to google the keyboard shortcut for starting the recovery by the brand of the laptop.

Answer 4

Be sure to check the security policies. And try opening the files themselves in a separate tab - and compare the contents. Maybe cache.

Answer 5

look on trackers. often spread images of disks. the key from the sticker in this case is suitable

Answer 6
