dannypritchett01 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I am making this post on my new laptop that included Vista Basic, I at this time am not that satisfied with Vista but am going to continue to give it a try until I get absolutly fed up with it. I have been trying to find a Vista Basic OEM disc so I can reinstall a clean install of vista and install my own software, the only thing I do want to keep is the software they put on my laptop to make a recovery cd or dvd. I dont know how to get it back after a clean install, but if anyone has a copy of vista basic oem id appreciate a loan of the disc or even a copy since I own a license for it. And can I use the Windows anytime upgrade cd to do a clean install of basic vista? and can i use it with nlite? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenC Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 The Windows Anytime Upgrade dvd has all the versions of Vista on it and Vlite will work with it. You'll need the Vista key on the sticker on the laptop to use it.Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan0490 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 No it will not work vlite takes out the needed setup exe so you can't run the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Nathan0490, don't spread misinformation. If one needs setup.exe then keep Manual Install component. And for Update keep Windows Easy Transfer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
