Can I recover Windows Vista?

[Guest Mauricio]

I got a new notebook with Windows Vista Home Premium in Spanish. An IT guy

try to change the language to English and he formated the hard disk. I do not

have Windows Vista CD or DVD. I have my product key, can i recover windows

vista and use the same product key?

 

Thanks for your comments...

Plain and simple...if you just purchased and new machine and it had Spanish

on it...but you wanted English..you should have purchased one already in

English.

I'd contact the vendor and explain the situation...they may be able to help

you

Try ordering a replace DVD from the place you purchased your notebook, if

you want English, you have purchase a copy or indicate the local you want

the operating system, otherwise, you will just have purchase Window Vista

Ultimate if you want use both languages.

Yes, you can do it with key you have purchased. You can do it with almost all software products. If your system still runs you can use special software to recover your product keys. Most of them support some versions of Windows and some other Microsoft products. Also there is a products like "Recover Keys" ( Recover Lost Product Keys for Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Office, SQL, Exchange - CD-Key Retrieve - Overview ) that support all Windows versions and 300+ of other major software packages.
