Help with back up and re installing win7 hp 64 bit
Hey, I wasn't sure whether to put this thread in this section or the installation & setup thread but I chose here.
Basically, I need to re install my window 7 using the operating system disc that came with the computer a number of years ago because an error comes up saying that my copy of windows is not genuine (it is).
So, yesterday I used the backup tool that's implemented into windows to backup my files. First question is, does the backup tool backup all my files including music and word documents, and also my program files such as Google chrome and iTunes?
Secondly, how would I go about re installing windows 7. I've looked around a bit but I'm still not really sure. I've got the installation disc so I can do a custom re install or upgrade.
I tried to do an upgrade because I don’t want to have my files deleted but as I’m not technically upgrading I cannot do that. So how would I go about re installing windows 7?
