MrPstv Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 A stab in the dark.. Require a Vista Business OEM disc. Need to upgrade from XP. No restore discs and no restore partition. Any recommendations? Laptop in question is an old Toshiba Satellite Pro P300 PSPC9E Much appreciated guys..
andydis Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 wouldnt bother, with VISTA if you can get drivers for vista they should work with 7. Also I would do fresh install not upgrade.
MrPstv Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 Sorry.. From upgrade i meant fresh install. No Windows 7 License. No Microsoft agreement. Save a few pounds...need Vista baby...
Joanne Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I have a DVD (I think) at home... I'll have a look tonight and see if I can dropbox you the iso. 1
Crumpet Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 If you have a legitimate licence key, you could risk a torrent copy and use your own key when prompted rather than a keygen etc..
Michael Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 If you insist on using Windows Vista, make sure you put SP2 on as it irons out most issues and is more comparable with Windows 7 at this level. Trouble is you're limited to IE9, unless you install Chrome too? Decisions, decisions...
MrPstv Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 send me a pm tomorrow incase I forget! Its the weekend (almost) as soon as i am off site i switch off and i will not remember....... 32bit by the way .... much appreciated... thank you, Ta..

MrPstv Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 UPDATE: A kind Fella has shared the iso with me. Thank you for the offers from all of you.... TA
PotNoodleTech Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I would have sent you hundreds of vista cds but I melted them down and made a contorted statue of bill gates screaming in pain. 2
