How to delete windows and install linux?
I couldn't use my Windows 7 system more because spyware / adware kept interrupting me, and I couldn't remove it without having to pay $100 to upgrade the antivirus and spyware, so I decided to install Linux instead. How can I delete my system Windows and install Linux Debian?
Download DBAN (http://www.dban.org/) and won't burn it to a blank CD/DVD using ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com/) (in XP/Vista), no additional software required for Windows 7 or well make a USB bootable with Universal USB Installer (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/)
Insert this device and enter the BIOs setup in the setup of the BIOs (F2 on the screen of the Bios Dell, a different key to the non-vallons), disable the card readers THAT DBAN otherwise does not quite. Starting the device (hold F12 for a Dell one for a non-Dell BIOs screen and then select boot from CD/DVD or USB respectively). Follow the instructions on the screen to eliminate completely all the data on your hard drive. Do this before installing Windows. Once it is a complete restart as a guest and then power down. When switching on maintain F2 to enter the BIOs setup, and then select the card reader.
This will have wiped your hard drives correctly.
Then install UBUNTU or similar do this by downloading their recent .iso and make a bootable USB drive or DVD and boot from it (F12 on the screen of the BIOs Dell or similar for another Dell) - follow the instructions on the screen and see if you like. http://www.Ubuntu.com/
You can also reinstall Windows 7 with latest Service Packs, more recent definitions of Microsoft Security Essentials & Microsoft Security Essentials, a decent free firewall like Sphinx Windows 7 Firewall Control and also Malwarebytes' Antimalware.

* Original title: reinstalling Windows 7
Hello
I bought a laptop recently, with a pre installed, activated windows 7. I'll be using linux for some time and goes back to Windows. If I format my drive and install linux, how do I install and activate my windows? And where can I get the source? In my laptop there is no serial number sticker. Its a laptop Lenovo b50-80.
Please do not suggest dual os.
Here's what I suggest strongly that do you before installing Linux, create a system image backup.
http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/
When you install Linux, then decide to go back to Windows 7 sometime in the future, you can just restore the image of the system.
