    I know this is the wrong forum, but you guys always seem to know the answer. I am trying to resurrect an old Dell that originally came with Vista Business. The software key listed on the bottom checks as legit. I cannot seem to find a place on MS to download a copy. Does anyone know?

    It may (just) still be possible to get a recovery image direct from Dell. You'll need the service tag of that particular PC to find out if they still have a Vista one available.

    That was the first this I tried. They apparently do not provide OS's back that far.
