    If your are running in Vista right now, try this one
    Would I boot that right after I download it in the laptop? I am typing this out on my Windows 8 Desktop . Now if I download the file you provided will it work on the laptop?

    This Laptop is pretty old so I have Windows Vista on it and I don't want to upgrade because I want to keep vista somewhere.
