Windows 8 or 7 if I have remove all and reinstall windows?

I think about the choice of trying to delete everything and reinstall windows from the general tab of the PC settings for windows 8.je downloaded windows 8 Microsoft when it first came out was running windows 7 I was wondering what will happen if I do this windows 8 or 7 because windows 7 has been pre-loaded on my Toshiba Satellite when I brought. The reason for wanting to do this is to try to get some speed to my laptop...  Windows 8 was the special offer for $ 15... Have a system image on a hard drive about 6 months ago so can go this way if needed, but that would have some unwanted junk on it,

If reset you Windows 8, all of your personal files will be deleted including all applications and your settings will be reset. All the apps that the is come with your PC will be reinstalled, but all other applications will be deleted.

However, you can use the image of the system Windows 8 If you have invited to insert discs or recovery media supplied with your PC.

  • 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.

  • How can I remove SP3 and reinstall Service Pack 2?

    How can I remove SP3 and reinstall Service Pack 2?  I have a software that runs only with Service Pack 2.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Note - your product support Windows XP * purposes * when you remove Service Pack 3.  You will be unable to obtain a new security - that will be available and published every month (probably) to those with Service Pack 3 until April 2014.
     
    Can you be more specific with the manufacturer of software/product?  Find it me hard to believe that any manufacturer of software of consequence would limit their product to a certain service pack (although I saw him - he's still amazes me.)  I would like to go into it.

  • Flash shut when I restart my computer and I have to uninstall and reinstall every time

    Help! I worked on it for 11 hours non-stop!

    I have Windows 7 64 bit. I use the latest Firefox browser. I have install Flash and it seems sort of work. It is in my programs to uninstall from Control Panel with the Flash icon.

    When I restart my computer and go to the Adobe site, it shows that Flash does not work. It's always in Control Panel uninstall programs, BUT there is no icon. So, I have to uninstall and reinstall to use.

    When I go to all the games Zynga.com and right click on the game window the Flash window opens but when I click on settings it freezes and I right click and left click a lot so he could get out. So I can't leave the site to use 100% of Flash to run on the site. From time to time if I wait a few minutes settings will open and I put 100% but when I go back and look at home later he says: I am using 0%.

    I have Norton 360 and switched off and uninstalled and reinstalled several times, only to have the same problem occurs.

    Until I installed Windows 7 and Vista Ultimate it worked better, but still not as good as it should have.

    Also in my plugins Firefox Shockwave is there but no Flash plugin is still there with Flash installed or uninstalled. Flash is and whence came it Shockwave? Firefox?

    Do I need Shockwave for Zynga or Facebook games? Or at all for that matter. I'll install it without valid reason as long as it is not something to screw up.

    After 11 hours of this Adobe HELL I am burned! So ANY help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks to anyone who can help me. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How can I remove linux and reinstall windows 8.1?

    Hello. I recently installed a distribution linux (OS elementary, Luna) on my HP Pavilion g6. My pc is preinstalled with Windows 8. I decided to evaluate linux and installed on my computer. I was not paying attention when installing and apparently replaced Windows 8. My question is, how do I get it back? I am a person without any repair records and don't have anyway make one (since I am just a computer nerd aged 15 years). I heard that HP computers have a bios recovery console, but if that's true how to reach it?

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

    For this reason, you will not be able to use the Windows 8 disc retail to activate the license incorporated, it does not recognize. That's why you need HP recovery media, otherwise you will end up having to buy a new license.
