Problem :
I want to reinstall windows 7 on my machine.
I read this from http://www.pcworld.com/article/2364269/how-to-reinstall-windows-like-a-pro.html
Windows, it’s up to the PC manufacturer to provide a recovery partition or recovery discs. Most manufacturers don’t include Windows installation discs with their computers.
partition, run your manufacturer’s recovery tool to reinstall Windows. On many PCs, you’ll have to press a key during the boot process to access the recovery tool. This key may be displayed on your screen. It should also be printed in your computer’s manual.
disc, you can also insert it in your computer’s optical drive and boot from it to begin reinstalling Windows. You’ll end up with the manufacturer’s like-new Windows system on your drive.
Do I have to find a windows 7 on piratebay in order to install it now? I don’t have a windows disk.
