Question about changing to Windows 7?
Okay, the laptop I have did not come with a Windows Vista reinstall disk and nothing on my computer is working. The internet says that it is connected but I can't surf the web because it comes up with a message saying "failed to connect". I have searched the internet on my desktop for help and none of the suggestions worked.
My question is, can I get 7 on my desktop (which the internet works on for some odd reason), save it to a hard drive and then install it on my laptop? I need an answer asap! I wanted to ask before I spent the money on it. Thanks in advance, Leslie |

Yes, but I'm not sure of a particular download source that would be better than another, except the one that I used, which was the MS store. You will need to burn it to either a flash drive or DVD to boot the laptop from for the installation.

Hi Leslie,
A few questions for you... What do you mean by "nothing is working"? Why do you need to install Windows 7 from a flash or hard drive - can't you just install using a Windows 7 DVD you'd buy at the store, or order online from your desktop? Does your laptop not have a functioning DVD drive? If you do end up needing to install Windows 7 from a flash drive or DVD, download Microsoft's USB/DVD Download Tool: Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com Cheers, Walker Windows Outreach Team |
