Need Help in Formatting
Hello im new here , and have a few questions , pls go through all of them . Thank You
First Question -
my lappy (laptop) came with win7 home basic installed , but due to virus i called the tech guy who completely wiped out all my partitions (even the recovery partition) and installed win7 ultimate.
Now i don't know how he activated the windows . I mean he was checking the sticker under my lappy for the serial key , but i have heard that the serial key for home basic won't apply on ultimate , then how he actually did it , is the big question? What are your thoughts ?
2nd question :
Does anyone has a download link of genuine win7 Home Basic ISO ? If yes pls post it here.
3rd Question:
Im again thinking of formatting my system, bcoz of another virus attack. and this time i'll do it myself so that i won't have to pay the tech guy.
But since i don't have a win7 home basic dvd , i guess i'll have to download a win7 ultimate iso from the net. and after that i think i'll use the recovery discs to install the original drivers .
Do u think thats the correct way ?? Do u think if i use the recovery discs on the already installed win7 ultimate , it will somehow install home basic over ultimate ?
Also is there a way to manually install only the drivers and not the bloatwares from the recovery discs?
Please provide detailed answers . Thanks
