DJVageli Posted July 1, 2008 CID Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hey guys I need help with something.Well the thing is I have a laptop that I got back in December, a Toshiba that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium. It has been activated since day 1 that I set it up but the problem is that the past few days I have got a message that pops up stating that I should back up all my files and install Vista on it because the license will expire.Is that possible? It never came with a Vista cd and now I don't know what to do. I have another 3 hours left it says. I will backup now..but I don't know what will happen after.
