My desktop is so slow and full of crap I just want to reset it to where it would be as I just installed a brand new Windows Vista disk on a brand new PC. Is there anyway to do that without the installation disk?

Windows currently have just the ISO file online which you can download but does not come with a product key. However, this is only for Windows 7 not Vista

For Vista, use google to get the ISO and burn it to a disk. You don't have to worry about any dogy key gens as im assuming you already have the product key

Have you checked to see if there is a factory reset option in the bios? Make sure you look around in there. I know you can download windows 7 and upgrade it from windows vista with out the CD, but you need the download ISO and the key, then you can upgrade and if you would like delete or keep all the current files on the HDD. I'm not sure if there is, but have you looked for the USB version of Windows Vista? I know they had some USB versions of W7 that you could use a USB to install, check to see if there is something like the for windows vista? Best of luck!
