laptop needs new windows software.
Hello.
My wife's laptop [IBM Thinkpad] which came to us 2nd hand has started playing up.
1/ querying and asking for the software key, had this for 3 years, no issues.
2/ also now keeps saying no internet access. it is connected but won't reach any sites.
I don't have the key so can't add it but was wondering if a clean install would sort it.
I have a couple of w7 disks but just found out they are OEM and as such are tied to a specific machine even though they are not in use.
Is it fixable [struggle to find any w7 software] or do we just get a cheapo laptop to do her online shopping and banking bits.
I've got her using a tablet but size matters :) and she keeps asking if we can fix her laptop.
Any suggestions for best course of action.
Many thanks.
