re: Getting Rid of Vista! Saturday, June 13, 2009 at 11:36 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Robyn Forgy (8 messages posted) I have 4GB of ram and a duel core CPU, I have my serial # and Product ID. I emailed Microsoft and they gave me a link to download recovery cd's for Vista. Would I need a regular Vista CD if I have the recovery discs? I've never used those so know nothing about how that works. Thanks! Robyn, Be kind, I'm new to this place, but have lurked for years.
