Help with Windows start up repair or clean install
I want to do a start up repair but only have a upgrade disk. When I try to do the start up repair and pick the OS on the hard drive it comes up with a error saying the os is not compatible even tho the upgrade was done from this disk. Can I do a start up repair or clean install without losing any software or personal files? This computer has no back up's.
My reason for wanting to do a start up repair is yesterday when I woke up my computer from sleep mode the hard drive kept and is always accessing but the CPU was not really doing much so I had to wait and wait and wait. It will say a software is not responding then after a long wait time the file will open or a program will respond.To just open folder takes 5 min, open files 5+. re starting or starting from the off position takes about 15 min!!!!
Would love some advice.
I have a Acer Aspire 5253-BZ 660 Laptop
1 ghz AMD C-50 processor
8gb ram
Windows 7 64 bit
Thx in advance
