• HP 15-AB521TX: reinstalling Windows recovery media will remove the created partitions?

  I have a HP 15-AB521TX and as usual with all laptops, it comes with C: drive.

  I used a third party partition manager to create more than 3 partitions by deleting the space on the C drive, so now I have C, D (recovery), E, F and G,

  But somehow now I want to reinstall windows (using the recovery backup media (flash drive)) and I wanted to know if it will remove all the extra partition I created and delivered to a single drive C? Since I have data on other players, I don't want to do.

  Thank you very much.

  Unfortunately, the answer is YES - as the first action of the recovery feature is to reformat the entire disk to match the partition arrangement which was put there at the factory.

  So, BEFORE you do this, you must migrate off the partitions and the data you want to keep or restore.

  Good luck

  I ran the Scanner from Microsoft for a complete analysis and he said I have the Trojan: Win32 / Sirefef: OH and it has only been partially deleted.  He said I might have to reinstall windows - which is another option, I can try first?

• Reinstall windows 7 Home premium 64 more Professional 32-bit I

  I'm in trouble. Recently, I paid a techie local to reinstall Windows.  I had W7 Home Premium 64-bit installed but it installed W7 32-bit professional.  I am trying to reinstall Home Premium 64bits but the installation process will not work

  I get a message saying that the version on the disc is not compatible. He said that I should reboot with the installation disc, but it doesn't work either. The installation process does not start.  Research on the net, it seems perhaps not possible to move from a 32-bit to a 64-bit if it is a different level of Windows. Is there a way to turn it?  If this is not the case, can I initialize the C drive and reinstall W7 Home Premium 64-bit from the installation disc?  Finally Microsoft support say Icould upgrade to W8.1 64-bit. Would this work?

• Remove all and reinstall Windows

  Hello

  I've updated my PC Windows 7 to Windows 8 a few months ago and a few minor but annoying problems (in particular, any program sometimes hangs when you open a file selection window, such as open file or save under).

  Since I have no problem with my laptop which came with Windows 8 OEM (rather than be updated), I thought I could get all those resolved by using the function "all delete and reinstall Windows.

  Could you is it someone please let me know if this is going to do a clean install, as if I had installed Windows on a formatted disk, or if she just wants to reset all the same condition as after the initial upgrade, less user profiles and data?

  If I go down this path, by using the migration wizard to save all data on an external drive and it recover after reinstallation there would be a recommended way to go?

  Thank you!

  I understand it will remove all the data, but I wonder if Windows is reinstalled as on a formatted hard disk clean, or just reset be based on the existing installation (which can not solve my problems).

  It will reinstall Windows 8, but all your personal files and applications, and the settings will be deleted.

  It will more than likely solve any problem you may encounter.

  I am selling my old laptop HP 6820 s to put the money to another and the main problem is that the original hard disk having bad sectors that prevent me from reinstalling Windows Vista Professional using the recovery disk. I was wondering if I bought a new hard drive of the same size and type, I was able to reinstall Windows Vista Business on it, especially since I still have the original key on the laptop itself.

  If the hd meets the specification, you should be able to install using the recovery discs.
