Data Recovery Activation Key
Windows 7 HELP!! COMPUTER PEOPLE HELP!?
here is my question
I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my Laptop Over Windows Vista, as a upgrade, which means that i dont have Windows Vista anymore. But, I still needed to activate Windows 7 Ultimate and my mom threw out the packaging by mistake and i dont have a activation key anymore. Now, instead of buying another one, i want to Restore to factory Settings, which means that i want it like my computer is fresh out of the box. I did this once on Vista and there were no problems. Its a Toshiba laptop with no recovery disk. However, I cant seem to find the option on 7.
So, is there any way i can downgrade to vista, i dont care about my DAta, its on a external hardrive i just want my old OS back
Also, i have Xp on a CD, which when i tried to boot from, it siad that i cant install cuz windows 7 is newer version.
AND PLEASE DONT REMOVE THIS QUESTION LATELY MY QUESTIONS ARE BEING REMOVED EVEN THOUGH THEY DONT VIOLATE THE RULES
