Have a Dell laptop I purchased on ebay few years ago. It came with Windows Vista home basic 32 bit already installed. It did Not come with a Windows vista DVD. Last week I purchased and installed Windows 7. I would like to go back to Windows Vista Home Basic. I do not have the Windows DVD as mentioned, I cannot find an unused DVD for sale. When I installed Windows 7 it wiped off the Windows Vista. What are my options for getting Windows Vista back without breaking any rules?

You can always get a Vista Ultimate 32-bit, run any sort of ei.cfg remover, and then burn it to a DVD. And make sure to select Vista Home Basic during installation. The key from the bottom of the key comes to play at the OOBE.

Unless it still has a factory restore image partition of Vista which I doubt, you will have to purchase the OS. But why on earth would you ever want to go back to Vista? I have never heard of anyone actually wanting to do this.
