    Anyone have a link to a 32 bit Home Premium Windows Vista ISO download? I need to re install it on an old computer.

    I do not want an illegal free version. I have a legit copy of Windows Vista which I have paid for. I want to download a copy so I can burn it to a disk then enter my product key upon installation. When I search Google all I could find were illegal copies or Windows Vista Enterprise.

    Just download the illegal copy and validate it with your key. Even though I have an msdn account and could download all the windows 7 I wanted, it just would not work and I had to do this, and simply use the key you have.

    Microsoft only appear to have w7 available on their site so I think that is best. Although ideally you would just get windows 7 as it is much better.

    I'm not sure if we can give that advice here. I was hoping a mod could OK it first.

    Probably can't give it tbh, so he could just email microsoft and they could point him to a download.

    If Vista came with your computer, you can only activate a matching OEM version. So, if your version is OEM, make sure to get an OEM disk, if it's a retail version from Microsoft, you'll need a retail disk.

    No discussion of illegal downloads, thanks. You can contact your computer manufacturer (if it shipped with Vista) or Microsoft for restore media. Be prepared to pay a small fee for this
