Installation - Reinstallation???
Hi all,
Touch wood, fingers crossed, I've only ever had to reinstall Windows once some years ago- on account of a brown out during a major Windows update. My right-brain philosophy since has been that if I have a good image backup and ignore anything whatsoever to do with reinstalling, my luck will hold (ha-ha). I know...
Having seen some of the fantastic info on this site I've decided that I should become a bit more proficient in this area, and have one machine that came with Vista Home Premium (OEM factory image only) + Windows 7 Home Premium Update Disks + I've won an upgrade key for 7 Pro.
My question is can I create an installation/reinstallation disk minus the OEM crapware, incorporating the upgrades and also SP1, and if so what are the best practices? Otherwise, how would you go about it?
Any info or links will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Oaken.
