NEED HELP wINDOWS 7
Boggin:
No, when you do a clean install - that is all you get - Win 7 and that will go online when prompted to download essential drivers.
Any 3rd party programs will need to be reinstalled afterwards.
If you have personal stuff on the computer that you would like to save, then you can use the File Transfer Wizard which is part of the Paragon Rescue Disk.
Did MS word come preinstalled on this computer ?
If it did then you would be better sending off for the OEM Recovery disks, although my bought Toshiba OEM Recovery disk for my other laptop didn't include MS Works which came preinstalled on it.
Is your wife's laptop the same make and model as yours in this respect ?

Do I use the File Transfer Wizard now or do I need to wait until I do the clean install? MS word did come pre-installed, My computer is a HP and Joan's is a Dell but both have Windows 7.
Boggin:
Use the file transfer wizard now, although you will need to look for the MS Word folders.
My MS Works has two folders, one is in Windows (C) and the other is in Program Files (x86)
The one that is in Windows (C) is the batch file to install it and this is how I copied it from one Toshiba laptop to a newer Toshiba laptop.
I've never used the file transfer wizard so don't know if you will be able to copy those folders when you may not be able to get into those sections.
If you give me a mo I'll boot up with my Paragon Rescue disk to see how that works and then get back to you.

Okay thanks Tom

I'm at my computer now and it's stuck in Windows boot manager it doesn't matter if I press enter to continue or exit to exit and even if I shut the power off it starts up back in boot manager
