• Re-installing windows
    3 replies, posted
I've looked on Google and I'm still not sure if I can do this. I have bought the retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium, but I believe it is time for a fresh install of the OS. I have not changed any parts in my computer since I first installed Windows. Do I need to re-activate my product key, or can I just clear the hard drive, re-install Windows, and enter the same key I had before and it will work again? Thanks.
yes you can just re-install the system and enter the key again, make sure when re-installing that you format the previous drive with windows on so that it truly is a ''clean install''
Thank you, also is there an option to format the hard drive when I start-up my machine?
