Quick hello and a question

[n_s_w]

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum thought I’d say hi!

 

Also I have a question that I cannot seem to find an answer for.

 

For a while now I have been helping various friends and family with the PC's including upgrading, virus removal, fresh installs etc.

 

My question is when I get a PC that needs reinstalling but the user has no Windows OS CD/DVD, where/how can I obtain a CD/DVD to use with the Product Key on the side of the PC or bottom of the laptop?

 

I ask this because I am interested in carrying out more work but when people bring their machines without the restore disks from the manufacturer I find myself stuck.

 

Any advice and support will be really appreciated

 

Thanks in advance,

Nav

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

You can use any OS disk provided that it is exactly the same as the one you are repairing.

e.g. Vista Home Premium.

 

If it is Win7 you can d/l a copy from Digital River
