Default product key for windows

if i download a windows vista premium torrent can i use my original numbers that are on my sticker.

my medion laptop is stuck on the load screen where the green bar goes over and back. it wont go into safe mode and i cant restore to factory settings from the laptop.

so im downloading windows it does come with activation key in a file but if i can use my own it would be better no?

Your legit key might work. And if that is the case then you don't need to use any loaders.

However if it doesn't work then your better of doing what Justin mentioned above.

Your product key will work with the same version of Windows you download. I'm not sure if Medion used their own branded discs for Vista like Dell, ASUS, ACER etc do.

you should be able to do it via the recovery partition. The reason they don't give the Disc's is because they have set a recovery partition so that you can re install windows via using that partition.

restart the computer > keep pressing the F8 key and then you should see the option where you can select the following:-

Safe Mode
Repair your computer
Safe mode with networking
Last known Good configuration


you select '' Repair your computer ''

When you select that you should now get the recovery option which the manufacturers have set

you have no need for windows CD and by the doing the above method it should restore it back to the state how you first bought the machine.
