    How to format and reinstall Windows 7 ?


    I purchased a laptop on ebay with Windows 7 Ultimate pre-installed. For security reasons I don't feel comfortable using the computer without formatting the hard drive first. How would I go about doing this ?

    Thanks,

       Information
    We always assume you have made your Recovery Disks using the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Media Creator app the first day you had your new PC.
    & made the Startup Repair CD.
    startup repair disc-create


    Did you make the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks?



    You can order OEM Recovery disks from your OEM manufacturer's website.
    Most OEM's will ship Recovery DVD's for FREE, (may be a postage fee)
