I really don't recommend buying a Windows Installation Disk and choosing the "Customized" option, because it's kinda complicated unless you're a computer geek. I personally did this myself, I used an ISO file and a USB. As a result the computer is not working properly. This laptop is now running a version of Window 7 Ultimate for which I have no product key, and so I cannot activate. You can install it using an ISO file (I recommend this) on a USB stick and choose boot from USB (newer computers can do this) or put it on a DVD and boot from that. Downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows Vista without CD Hi, here's my situation. The information you pointed them to applies IF you originally had Vista installed > upgraded to Windows 7 > and now wanted to 'Rollback' to Vista. Backup takes a pretty long time, from 30 min (fast computer and USB 3.0) to 120 min. The OP in this thread has Window 7 as the original operating system and they now want to install Vista, which they do not have. So just back up your FULL hard drive (on amazon, there's a lot of 250 GB+ Portable hard disks, use one of those. In older versions of windows, you could use many different tools, but those are for older OSs. There is no other way (that i know of, and I know a lot) than a full drive backup and a clean reinstall of Home premium. Yes, i know this is a clean install, but you have all your files, at least. What a friend of mine did was back up all his files and do a new install of Home Premium.
