• Reinstalling windows 7 from windows old
    1 replies, posted
Good evening facepunch My dad recently asked me to install a copy of windows 7, over an oem of the same version, that was already installed. This was so the laptop would be ready for another user, ie me. I saved windows old just in case. However, my dad has realised that some of the stuff he needs, ie, files and emails are in windows old. The problem I have is that when I follow the normal method for reinstalling windows.old, I only get an upgrade, or custom install ( with no option of repair). What options do I have to retrieve the data? Edit: Didn't read the thread right above me. Ban me, move it, whatever you see fit.
Wait, you can reinstall from windows.old?
