This is a recovery disk only and will recover the Vista operating system if it is saved a a backup. Many manufactures of computers will put a backup of Vista on the hard drive of the computer such as HP. This recovery disk will try to find that backup and restore it. If you have made a backup at some time, it will allow you restore that as well. These recovery disks do not have the Windows Vista operating system on them to reload your computer.

Hi Stuart. I used one of Laplink's 'PCMover' programs to upgrade from Vista to Win7; it worked really well and was simple to use.There is a PDF guide which you can download and print out; this takes you step by step through the upgrade process. Laplink's support team headed by Ray Pettit is excellent; you can chat online for help if needed. This link will advise you which program is most suitable : http://www.laplink.com/index.php/individuals/pcmover-for-windows-8/feature-overview Regards Bob.

This is a Dell Vista Reinstallation disc, but can be used as a clean new install. Do you know how to install a operating system? If so, you can format and do a clean install with this.

Probably not. They were pretty adamant in the product specs and the Amazon reviews & comments that it had to be Windows 7. That version is newer than your Vista. My advice is don't even try. Good luck.

It works with Windows 7 - 32 & 64 bit, Windows XP, Window 8... I haven't tried it with Vista, but I have no doubts that it will work just fine.

Yes you can , although it will take up more space on your hardrive, it is not necessary to install windows 7 as vista will work well, but if you desire windows seven there would be no problem.

Yes it does work with your windows Vista. I might add that if you upgrade to Windows 7, you'll be very happy. It's user friendly

Don't know as I took mine out of the computer and put it back into the box. Not reliable for a Vista OS.

As long as you have a working USB port it should work. I have no problem with Windows 7 64 Bit SP1. I don't see why it wouldn't work with Vista. Have you gone to HP's site and checked? Maybe a bad port or a driver issue.

Hello J. Deutsch, Thanks for your interest! The computer has Windows 8 pre-installed on it. We only sell used items, and we do not have a way to uninstall operating systems. You may be able to take the customer somewhere to have this done, but we are not 100% sure. Sorry we couldn't be of more help.

If you have a retail Windows 7 Install Disc, you can use it to reinstall Windows 7 from scratch. If you only have a manufacturer REinstall disc, it may be risky due to software/bloatware issues.

No, no instructions. Yes, it is compatible with Windows Vista. It is an internal drive meaning that you install it inside the computer case. Does your case have an empty slot for the drive? It not, you might consider an external USB drive instead. I have one of those as well and it has been just as reliable as the internal unit.
