End of LifeWindows Vista Reached End of Life in April 2017. Free Upgrade to Windows 7/10Systems sold within the first year of the release of Windows 7 had a Free Upgrade to Windows 7. These systems typically had a SMBIOS of 2.5 or 2.6. For these systems the OEM typically released a BIOS Update which updated the SLIC from 2.0 to 2.1 and this makes the system eligible for Windows 7 OEM System Locked Preinstallation. You can then install and activate Windows 7 64 Bit and generate a genuine ticket to activate a clean install of Windows 10 64 Bit.
More details are about this are available. If the systems SLIC remains at 2.0 you can still install Windows 10 without a Product Key. This will leave your system unlicensed with it watermarked to the bottom right hand corner and you will be restricted when it comes to some settings but otherwise it is fully usable and more functional than Windows Vista. It will also be patched and be safer to use online.
See for more details on clean installing Windows 10 Home 32 Bit (note when making media this system will be a Legacy System). Note if clean installing Windows 10 on a Windows Vista System (SMBIOS 2.5 or 2.6) you may want to consider replacing the mechanical Hard Drive with a Solid State Drive as Hard Drives from over 10 years ago are a substantial bottle nech in terms of system performance. Download Links – Retail And OEM RETAIL VS. OEMThis guide explained how to download media for the Retail Full License (which is the only license most other guides address) and it also explains how to download media for the Retail Upgrade Only License.
Particular attention is paid towards the Dell OEM License and HP OEM License (which other guides poorly address).If you are unsure what license applies to you see:.RETAIL FULLThe Windows Vista Setup Files could be downloaded directly from Digital River which could then be converted to a.iso and used to make installation media. The same procedure below may be carried out for the files of the different languages.Unfortunately Service Pack 2 wasn’t integrated into these images. Its advised to download the Service Pack alongside all Windows Updates and patch your Windows Vista installation immediately offline after the reinstall. To do this see my other guide on using the.Note if you have lost your retail product key and your old installation could boot you can use to find your product key. RETAIL “UPGRADE” ONLYMany Windows Vista licenses were “Upgrade” only. The original installation media for these licenses may require the user to run them in a previous version of Windows In short the installation media that came with such a license was terrible and should have immediately been discarded.

The Windows Vista Setup Files could be downloaded directly from Digital River which could then be converted to a.iso and used to make installation media. The same procedure below may be carried out for the files of the different languages.Unfortunately Service Pack 2 wasn’t integrated into these images. Its advised to download the Service Pack alongside all Windows Updates and patch your Windows Vista installation immediately offline after the reinstall. To do this see my other guide on using the.The newer.isos did allow for a direct clean installation however for an upgrade license one would have had to skip entry of their product key during installation otherwise they would have got an error message stating their key was an upgrade only key. Skipping the product key on the other hand allowed them to circumvent this and proceed with direct clean installation with a 30 day trial.
If one tried to input the upgrade key normally within system properties they would get the same error message. HelloI followed all of the steps to create a USB bootable disk. After starting the computer with the USB disk, I get the error: “Windows cannot open the required file f:sourcesinstall.wim. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.
Error code: 0x80070570”.I have downloaded the install.wim file at least half a dozen times and went through this whole process the same # of times with the same result. The WIM file is in the Sources folder and the size is 2,097,153 every time I download it.
How can I tell if the file is corrupt?Regards,Rod. If you have your old version of Windows Vista installed, you should run the activation backup and recovery program to backup the OEM system locked preinstallation files. When installing you can skip the input of a product key and select Vista Home Basic. For product activation run the activation backup program to restore the product activation and restart the computer. If the system is Dell and you have not backed up the product activation you may use the files I have provided which are valid only for eligible Dell systems with a Vista COA or later COA (via downgrade rights). The procedure of using the activation backup and recovery program is explained in detail in Windows Reinstallation Guide/A Clean Install of Windows Vista Step 2 and 11b.
A demonstration of what happens in an ineligible system of product activation failure is demonstrated in Step 11f. If the system is not Dell and you haven’t backed up the product activation then you may follow Step 11e and input your OEM product key, you will then need to activate using phone activation usually to an automated Microsoft Activation centre. Step 11e was previously the most recommended mechanism for the OEM install in my guides but is more hassle and can be problematic if the COA is faded. The install.wim is already compressed. You are best to attempt the download late at night when your isp has less traffic alternatively at a friends or at a library.I can’t upload the.iso installation files as this site will likely be taken down if I do.
If I could I would of had direct links to all the.isos and the.isos split into 100 MB chunks with 7zip. As mentioned several times on this site, Microsoft seriously lack in their distribution and deployment of Windows making life severely difficult for its end users.For Vista there are the 3 setup files and some work has to be done to make the.iso, for Windows 7 deployment was great a direct download to a.iso and for Windows 8 and 8.1 its absolutely ridiculous the lack of a direct download link and the lack of a standalone service pack update.
The file is compressed as mentioned above the.exe extracts installation files from the 2.wim files. They are still large however. In the end the Vista SP1 x86.iso is 2.90 GB, the downloads are 2.79 GB collectively. Install.wim being 2.59 GB by itself.
If your internet connection limits you to 0.9 GB for a month you have no chance downloading it. You simply need to use a better connection e.g. At a public library or coffee shop or get a better home broadband service.
Theres not much else I can advise. Hi PhlipI apppreciate your effort and patience in claryfing our doubts, THANKS IN ADVANCE!I have followed your recommendations for the Windows Vista 32 Bits SP1 installation, I am creating the image in windows 7 64 bit using the following files and sizes: MicrosoftInstaller 81,2 MB (83182 KB), install.wim 2,59 GB (2.717.937 KB) and boot.wim 126 MB (130.010 KB). It completes successfully the first three phases: 1) Copying files, 2) Expanding Files and 3) Installing features but I find this the following error after starting the 4th stage: Installing updates, it doesn’t complete this phase nor the 5) Completing installation, the error message is the following: “Install Windows: Windows could not set the offline locale information: Error code: 0x80FE0000”After of that I try without creating a new image (I use the same pendrive), it only completes the first and the 2nd phase and this error arises: “Windows cannot install required files.
The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070017”.I am deleting the partition, creating a new one and then formatting it before start the installation process. Regarding the Driver for SATA the installation wizard discard all the options downloaded both from Intel and Dell websites.The other option: I have tried installing Windows Vista 64 bits SP1 and it is installed, however the big issue is that once is installed it does not allow me to install the SP2 neither update any drver such as video, RAS Async adapter plus the computer is very slow, it is a Dell Latitude D630.Sorry for the long explanation, I will appreciate your kind support!Best regards!Pedro. Give the ones on Heidoc.net a try again, its working for me again now.
Windows Vista Iso Download Microsoft![]()
Sometimes there are temporary issues with those files on the Digital River server.The 3 files from HeiDoc.net are 2.wim and the.exe. The.exe extracts the 2.wim files.The OEM product key.txt and cert files are used with the ABR program and apply the OEM product activation when a system is eligible. The ABR program comes as.exe which extracts the program into a folder called ABR. The 2 files must be copied into this folder and then the activation restore from the folder ran. Hello Philip – Nice detailed instructions. I believe I followed them correctly; however, I was not able to get the system to boot (Dell OP960sff) form the burned iso.
All file sizes mentioned in the instructions check out OK.Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the causeStatus:0xc000000fInfo: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.I burned the iso to DVD using a Mac (AppleDiskUtility) – the only computer I have w/a DVD burner.

Burned DVD is UDF format. If I execute the setup file on the DVD using a Win7 box, the Vista Install slash screen comes up.
Windows Vista Home Basic Coa
Is it possible to run the setup.exe on a Win7 box and install to a DiskDrive connected via USB?Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I would like to report my experience with the Activation Backup and Recovery program with Vista and Windows 7 on several HP computers.I have tested several HP computers and there is a problem with license activation. ABR will change the Key to the appropriate version of Windows 7 but it will not activate the license. I install the correct key but I just get “30 days to activate”.I have been testing the following computers from HP with Win7 and Vista.Model dc5100 – 915 chip setModel mt7600 – 945 chip setModel dc7700 – 965 chip setModel dc7800 – Q35 chip setModel dc7900 – Q45 chip set.I download Windows 7 ISO files and installed them on all of the HP computers and then use ABR beta to apply the appropriate key.I also installed Win7 Prof 64 bit on to a HP model Elite 8000 (Q45 chip set) using original HP Restore and Installation discs.
It gave me a activated license.In both cases: I tried those disc drives in the other computers. In both cases, only on the DC7900 did I get an activated license. On all the earlier models I got the “30 days to activate”.I installed Vista Ultimate 64 from downloaded ISO files and used ABR to install the keys.I also installed Vista Business 32 from original HP restore and install discs on a dc7800.I tried both disc drive in other HP models.In both cases:On models 7700, 7800 and 7900, the license would activate. On models 5100 and 7600 it would not activate.It appears there is something in the hardware in the HP computers that is required to activate the Vista or Windows 7 license.Widows 7 would not activate on anything earlier than the Q45 chip set.Vista would not activate on anything earlier than the 965 chip set.I use “Magic Jellybean Keyfinder” to read and confirm the license key and “Paragon Adaptive Restore” to enable the disc drive to boot on different hardware.
Thanks for reporting back your findings. I only have Dell hardware so haven’t done extensive testing with HP systems.Can you retest the ABR program after updating all of the systems to the latest BIOS revision?
Can you also list the date of the installed BIOS beside all the systems?In the case of most Dell systems it should be if the BIOS is updated past mid 2009 (after Windows 7 was released) the OEM SLP will work for Windows 7. However it also depends if Dell sold any of the systems with Windows 7; if they just released an update and no sold the model i.e.
Never sold any with Windows 7 its possible the markers weren’t added with the update (this was rare, usually the drivers updates just stopped). I am not sure of HP products and their lifecyclesModel dc5100 – 915 chipset → There should be little chance of Windows Vista or Windows 7 SLP files working. All these systems should be XP systems or even 2000 systems.Model mt7600 – 945 chipset → Probably only Windows Vista SLP files will work (after the latest BIOS Update). The Dell systems with the 945 chipset were sold when Vista was out and never got a 2009 BIOS update so don’t work with OEM SLP activation.Model dc7700 – 965 chipset → Probably only Windows Vista SLP files working. This model also likely came out just before Windows 7. Most of the Dell systems with this chipset were mid Vista systems, again sold before Windows 7 came out.Model dc7800 – Q35 chipset → Should work with both Windows Vista and 7 SLP files. Probably needs the latest BIOS revision.Model dc7900/8000 – Q45 chipset.
→ Should work with both Windows Vista and 7 SLP files.
