A photographer friend of mine has an old PC running Windows XP/VISTA. He only needs to use the Scanner connected to this PC with an expansion card ["2"=in the picture].
The expansion card ["1"=in the picture] is a graphics card only with a VGA Slot.
"3" = should be SATA Disk
"4" = should be IDE...

Hi! This is probably one of the most common questions in this forum, but could not find the answer, so sorry for that. I have inserted a new SSD into a ThinkPad laptop. I have the original Vista Product Key, but no media. Where can I download Vista so that I can boot the new SSD disk?
I am predicting this now: Windows 11 will be the worst Microsoft OS since Vista and 8, and it's all because of 11's stupid requirements.
Really Microsoft what the hell are you thinking, cutting off all processors made before 2017 all based on stupid requirements no one asked for.
TPM is a joke...

Hello, I'd like to do a Windows 10 reinstall ( a complete OS reinstall) on my current PC, as it's old and getting very slow. Would anyone know can I reuse my Windows key, which I originally bought on Ebay the first time I installed it about 4 years ago? According to my system page it's a...

The security updates for Vista are also for Windows Server 2008. Windows Server 2008 will continue to get those updates until 2020 (edit: this is incorrect as Neemobeer points out below).
You can make a simple registry change in Windows XP so that windows updates thinks it is Windows POS Ready...

The free space in my drive keeps shrinking though I haven't installed any new legal software in it.
Is this a Vista OS problem, or is this some sort of malware or virus engineered to scrape data fragments off my system drive?
What are the fixes for the above two scenarios?
