Vista disk for dell pc can it be used on compaq presario pc

[sunshine62]

im just wondering if a dell disk with windows vista home basic can be used on a compaq presario pc

Nope, the disc is a restore disc, not an install disc. It's tailored to the Dell hardware.

In addition to the above it's under licence to Dell from Microsoft and locked in to the Dell system and activation would fail even if you managed to install it.
