How to return an old version of VK on a computer? Very simple! How to enter the full version of VKontakte

Despite the blocking of VKontakte by the Ukrainian authorities, the social network remains popular throughout the former USSR. Almost every smartphone, be it Android or iPhone, has a VK mobile application. But what if we want to get a social network on the computer and not use the browser version? This is what we are going to tell our readers about today. The article will discuss how to download VK for free on a computer or laptop. Let's get started.

Download for PC

You can get the VK program for a computer in different ways. Their choice will depend on the operating system used. Users of new OS 10 or 8 will be able to download and install VK through the store, users of older axes will have to use an Android emulator. One way or another, we will describe both methods.

Installation on Windows 8 and 10

Downloading VK is very simple and completely free. We do the following:

Open the Microsoft store (you can find it through the search).

Now you need to use the store search and enter a query in the line. When the result we need appears in the search results, click on it.

Next, you should download the VK to your PC. We press the button [k] Get.

We are waiting for the download to finish, it will not take long.

When the VK download is over, we will be able to launch the application directly from the store.

Also, the shortcut will appear in the [k] Start menu.

For Windows XP, Vista and 7

For PCs based on Windows XP, Vista, 7, you will have to use an Android emulator. There are several similar programs out there, but through trial and error we have established that Blue Stacks is the best. On our website you can get the latest Russian version of the application by clicking the button:

Download BlueStacks 3

You can read about how to properly install an Android emulator. After it is ready for work, we do the following:

Go to the [k] My applications tab and enter the word [k] VKontakte in the search bar. Next, click on the magnifying glass icon (marked with the number [k] 3).

We click on the icon we need in the search results.

It's time to establish contact with the computer. On the home page of the application, press the [k] Install button.

Now you need to grant the application the required permissions. To do this, press [k] Accept.

We are waiting for VKontakte to download and install.

Hello dear readers of the blog site. This is another article for those who are just starting their acquaintance with the Internet (recently, for example, I wrote about that). Indeed, it is not always and not always clear to everyone how to get your own page, whether it is possible to entrust the system with your phone number (after all, without specifying it, registration of a new user is currently impossible), how you can enter the Contact, and how not worth it.

Also, many would not mind (well, in your sense, it's just called that), what is "status" and why it is so important. And also: what is a "wall", why sometimes it is impossible to log into VK, how to recover a password, how to contact technical support (including when it is impossible to log in with your username and password) and many other simple questions to which it is not easy to find answers on the net. By the way, we have already spoken to you 🙂

Today I want to start from the very beginning - registration, options entrance in Contact (including without entering a username and password, although this is possible only from mobile devices, but it is possible), the design of my page, and I also want to talk about solving frequently occurring problems preventing you from entering VK and starting to enjoy communication (this also, unfortunately, often happens). Do not be afraid, it will not hurt, except that it tickles a little 😛

Login to your page on the Vkontakte site without unnecessary risk

Guys, I'll make a reservation right away that, contrary to logic, I want to start not with the registration of a new user, but with the entrance to this social network, because there is a lot of nuances that many will be useful to know. Firstly, your data from your VKontakte account may well be a source of income for all sorts of "radishes", so I urge you to be vigilant. Secondly, it will not always be great if other (even if not outside your) people gain access to your account, so you should think in advance about how to avoid this. But first things first.

Login to the page you created best done as follows:

What should I do if I can't get into Contact?

Also, right away (even before explaining the process of registering a new user) I want to go over for the most common reasons that cause problems with entering this social network. Well, and show all possible ways to resolve this, quite often (we are all people, we are all human ...).

Most often, of course, the fault of the emerging problems with logging into VK is our own inattention, but it is not always possible to analyze where exactly we are doing something wrong and what is worth looking at in the first place when such a problem has arisen, but we really want to communicate ...

Why you may not be able to log into Vkontakte:

Pay attention to such a thing as Caps Lock button... You can find out whether it is on or not by the burning eye either on the button itself (it is the leftmost in the middle row of keys), or on the panel in the upper (or upper right) area of the keyboard. If the peephole is on, then the button was pressed by you or by someone else, and thus you activated the typing of all characters on the keyboard in uppercase (instead of lowercase letters, capital letters will be printed).
Why is it so important? The fact is that the password that you enter when you try to log into VKontakte is case-critical, i.e. in it, the lowercase Latin letter "a" does not allow replacement by the same capital letter. Actually, if the password was visible when you entered it on the VK website, then you yourself would understand that something is wrong here, and would start looking for the reason. But since the password is not visible when you enter (each of the characters you entered is replaced by a period), it is not easy to trace it.
For clarity, you can enter the password in some text editor, and then in the input field on the Contact website - this will completely eliminate the influence of unforeseen factors, for example, associated with the accidentally pressed "Caps Lock" key
Look in what position is input language switcher on your computer. Usually, an indication of this is displayed in the lower right corner of the screen (in the so-called tray). If it says "RU" or something else other than "en", then you will need to switch the input language to English. You can just click on this icon and select the desired language, or you can use hotkeys (most often it is either Shift + Alt, or Shift + Control).
Why can this prevent you from entering your page in VKontakte? Well, again, because when you enter a password on the VK website, you do not see the characters that you enter, and if you have selected Russian, then instead of Latin letters, you enter their Russian counterparts that live on the same keyboard buttons ... Vkontakte does not understand you (and I understand 🙂) and mercilessly blocks the entrance, like a person entering the wrong password.
The problem can sometimes be a maddened one, who will automatically translate the layout into the language you don't need. Usually he understands that a password is being entered and there is no need to hooligan, but there are failures. Just in case, I will inform you that to forcibly translate the typed word into another layout when Punto Switcher is on, it will be enough to click on the Pause / Break key at the top of the keyboard.
but I myself have not entered passwords manually for a long time practically nowhere and at the same time I have no problems with the entrance. At the same time, I get a very reliable storage for hundreds and thousands of passwords, to enter which I only need to press a combination of three keys. That is, on any site (Contact, Odnoklassniki, WebMoney, etc.), I type a combination of three fingers of keys and enter (log in) without any problems. The key here is “on any”.
Interesting? Want to learn? Are you ready to spend half an hour and then have no password problems at all? Then check out the manual for working with. Do not be lazy, because everything will pay off handsomely. Chessword 🙂
Even such a powerful resource as Contact happen local and even global glitches... In the first case, only a part of users may have a problem with logging in; in the second, all of them. Most often, the problem is local in nature. If you are sure that you are entering the password correctly (and you did not forget it - it was safely saved, recorded or remembered in the browser), then contact the technical support service of the social network True, the problem is that it will be possible to write a message to technical support from the Vkontatka website only after authorization (login) on this page, and you just have a problem with this. What to do? Don't despair. Just write them a message on the mail at [email protected] with a description of the problem with the entrance. If, then you can use it.
If instead of the Vkontatka website you find yourself on an incomprehensible resource (maybe similar to it externally) or in general you see just a "white page", then do not apply for the presence of lines from vk.com there. If they are there, then feel free to delete. All the nuances are described at the link provided.
Problems with logging into your Vkontakte page may arise in the case of infestations your computer or mobile device viruses... In this case, for example, you may be required to pay for the entrance, which in no case should be done, because you will be deceived anyway. You just need to cure the computer and everything will work out by itself. VK itself, by the way, offers you your Cezurity antivirus which can be downloaded for free. For Android, they recommend this product from a domestic developer.
Your page could block in the VK itself (moderators). In this case, a message is displayed, displaying the timing and reason for blocking, as well as a link to a safety instruction that will help you avoid blocking in the future. It will not work to unlock it earlier than the specified time, and you should not be led by offers to do it for money from third-party craftsmen - this is a scam for money and nothing more.
, therefore, it is impossible to enter the Contact (the cracker could have time to change the password). In this case, you will need to go to this tab https://vk.com/restore(if the account was linked to a phone number) or on this https://vk.com/restore?act=return_page(if there was no connection to the phone or you no longer own this number).

What if you forgot your password and cannot enter VK?

You can try to find the password... How? Well, it all depends on your previous actions. For example, you could save it in your browser when you logged in (entered) for the first time on your Vkontakte page. Don't you remember? Did you keep it?

If yes, then try to go to vk.com and double click on the login input line... If you do this in Chrome, Opera, Yandex Browser or Mazil, then you will be offered a list of logins, and when you select the appropriate one, the password may be automatically substituted. In the old Opera, you could press the Control + Enter key combination.

Happened? No. It is possible that you still saved the password when you first entered, but he does not want to get out. Can get inside the browser and get him out of there. How to do it?

If it was not possible to find the password for entering the social network, then it will be possible try to restore it (or rather get a new one):

Registration of a new user in VKontakte

So we finally got to the registration. Actually, there is nothing special about that, so I wanted to push it back a little, because there was something to say about authorization (login) and the problems and nuances that arise, but then what ... Well, registration of a new user ... Well, in VK ...

However, there are several nuances here. Small such:

First, recently when registering on Vkontakte, they began to require to indicate a mobile phone number... It would be okay if you just specify. No, the entire account is linked to it, and you won't be able to specify a set of numbers from the bulldozer, because to confirm the number, you will have to enter a confirmation code at one of the registration stages, which will come to your phone in the form of an SMS message. That is, it will not work to evade the exposure of your mobile phone.
On the one hand, this is essential increases safety work and hackers are now much more difficult to hack and take away your account in VKontakte, because for this they will have to have access to your mobile phone, or in some clever way force you to report the confirmation code that came to it (however, this is possible due to social engineering).
On the other hand, in which case it will not be difficult to find you in real life (for example, to the competent authorities), because it is rather difficult to buy a SIM card from us without a passport. Those. you lose your anonymity, and with it permissiveness, which many will not like.
Secondly, only one phone number can be linked to one profile (account) on Vkontakte. This significantly complicates the life of those who make money in VK in various ways and need to have and constantly get new ones. Of course, they find a way out, but ordinary users, if they wish, will have to splurge on several more accounts in VKontakte for another number of SIM cards. If you try to enter a previously used mobile phone number during registration, it will not work, or you will be offered.

These are the nuances - trivial for someone, but problematic for someone. The registration process itself begins by filling in on the page https://vk.com fields with your first / last name and clicking on the button "Register".

They will also ask you about the gender, and literally at the next step of registering a new user in a non-alternative form, they will offer indicate mobile phone number and then click on the confirmation button to enter the code that came to this number. You will not be able to evade or cheat at this step. If you have nothing to fear, then feel free to shoot your mobile phone number and continue the registration process.

Then a multi-step wizard comes into play, helping the system to collect as much information about you as possible so that there are as few unfilled profiles as possible in this social network. Here you are offered to choose the school where you studied, the university, add friends, connect pages from other social networks, etc. If you wish, you can skip all this by clicking the button of the same name at the very bottom of the VK registration wizard window.

That's it, after that the new user gets to his completely new and still practically empty page in Contact. Actually, this is the so-called "My page", which can also be accessed by selecting the appropriate item from the left menu.

Your avatar will be placed here (usually a photo of a person or some funny drawing), some general data are given (including the status that is displayed under the name and surname (by the way, I already wrote about that).

To edit the data displayed on your page, you can use the buttons shown in the screenshot. Entries on the "wall" are entered through the line, again shown in the screenshot. You can, for example, enter there only one link to some page on the Internet, and Smart Contact will itself pull the picture, title and description of this page. You can (contact profile), or to a group or public, if the need arises. Under the photo (avatar), you can track the degree of completion of your profile.

I also advise you to wander through the tabs of the item "Settings"(from the left menu) to meaningfully set the degree of your openness on this social network. For example, you should probably not post your address and phone number in the public domain (only to your friends in VK), etc. Think, customize and start communicating.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

How to return the old Vkontakte design in a couple of clicks

So, in order for the design of the vk.com site to take on the same look, we will use a special extension for the Google Chrome browser with you. This extension is called "Return the old design of VK". So far, revenge is one of a kind, but I believe that over time there will be a considerable number of analogs. Today, there is one caveat: the version of this extension is still damp, so you can observe some bugs when surfing the social network, however, the developer often releases an update to this extension, eliminating errors found by users. To change the design of the site, go to the google store and install the extension.

Click on the "Install" button, a window will be highlighted, where we click "Install extension".

After the extension has been installed, click the icon once with the mouse:

and update the VK page. Below you can see what the page looked like in the new design:

and this is how it looks after installing the extension, which changes the new version of the site to the old one:

Time will pass, and there will be a sufficient number of such extensions. You can find out which one is the best by rating it in the Google store. However, I believe that many users will simply get used to the new design of Vkontakte and the need for the old version will disappear automatically.

As you can see, friends, change the new version of VK to the old one very simple: just take a few simple steps. If you liked the instruction, share it with your friends using the social buttons below.

It is impossible to enter your Vkontakte page if it is blocked or directly from the vk.com website without a password. Correctly completing all the points of this instruction, it will allow you to use your page without problems, with a new password.

Download VKontakte to your computer - messaging app

You just need to remember that you are putting information about yourself on public display. Of course, you can limit the circle of people who can see your page - for example, open access only to friends or to some selected people, but not everyone cares about this. Keep in mind that although this is called private information, you give information about yourself to the owners of the Contact, and they can use this information at their discretion. That is, of course, you are not the full owner of the page, because this site is not yours. But it's the same everywhere on the Internet, you don't have to worry about it, just know when to stop when you say something about yourself.

To go to your page, you can go to the official website of the Vkontakte social network, you can also do this by clicking on the link below:

Where is it located?

You need to enter the official site and your page will be there. To get to it, enter the site (first you will see the news feed from your friends and groups) and click on the "My page" link in the left column. You can enter using the link that is located above.
If you can't log in or the page is "blocked", read this: "" and follow all instructions.

Details page

"My page" is your kind of control center, and for guests who visit it - a source of information about you.

What can you see on it? If you look from left to right, then first there is a menu through which you can get to other sections. Then - information about you; in the left column - your photo (or avatar, ava), a list of friends who are online now, links to your photo albums, etc. The right column shows information about you: name, date of birth, hometown, marital status, contact information, places of study and work.

Usually, to view all the information, you need to click on the link "Show full information". Below is the so-called "wall" on which you can write something - you can do it yourself, you can also other people (if you allowed them - all this can be customized).

To change or add information, use the links "Edit." or "Edit" (top left), do not forget to click "Save" later. And pay attention that when you go into editing, at the top there are tabs "General", "Contacts", "Interests" - by clicking on them, you will be taken to editing other sections of your page.

Quick login

Having got used to visiting this Social Network in the same way, many people have difficulty, if it happens to enter differently - there is a complete and mobile version of VKontakte, login via computer and gadgets using different applications. There may be a different interface, but the essence is the same - you will need to enter a username and password.

Important point: address Vkontakte (login via computer) must be mandatory http://vk.com, any other options are fakes designed to steal personal data. If you enter your username and password there, the Vkontakte page will be hacked. It will also be lucky if they immediately start to do something there - it will be possible to quickly find out, immediately contact the administration of the Social network, restore access Vkontakte (login to my page, through a computer), change the password there and continue to use it calmly.

Performed in Vkontakte login via computer so: a login or a mobile phone number is dialed, followed by a password. All 4 sequences of characters must be without errors: the address of the network itself, login or number, password. Next, it remains to click the "Enter" button with the mouse and wait for your page to load. By the way, now, without linking a phone number to an account, each message is sent only with a set of captcha and other inconveniences. To enter VKontakte without a login, read this.

If in Vkontakte login to my page (via computer and not only) has not happened for a long time, for any reason - you can forget the password and the application version will become outdated. To restore access, you will need to update the application and be verified by the administrator. You can order services for quality, reliable and fast promotion of VKontakte in this section site menu.

Mobile version of Vkontakte: login through a computer

If used mobile version of Vkontakte, login via computer is performed in the same way, only the design of the page is different. And the address of the mobile version is different: http://m.vk.com. In the same place, in the window, among the options there is a button for switching to the full version, at the bottom. It happens that everything seems to be in order with the connection, but in Vkontakte my page, via computer or another gadget, loaded with errors - it's okay, you can reboot or go to the full version. To wind up reposts to VKontakte records, go to this the page .

The architecture of Vkontakte applications for different devices is similar - you don't need to go anywhere in the browser, you just need to launch the application itself. If it is not installed on a specific device, download, install and run. Authorization there is standard everywhere: except for a login or a phone number and a page password, nothing is required. If you do not have a VKontakte account yet, how to create one.

If the owner is interested in who entered the profile, Vkontakte provides an activity history record, where visits from different devices are noted. To watch it, it opens in Vkontakte my page (via computer or other electronics), the "Security" tab is selected in the settings, there is an option "Show activity history". If you suspect a hack, you can click "End all sessions" - and only those who know the username and password will be able to log in again. We change the password immediately - and the page is again under the full control of the owner. You can buy cheat votes in contests, polls and votes.
