Reinstall Windows built-in tools
Almost all laptops are now available, allow you to reinstall Windows, as well as all drivers and programs automatically. That is, you only need to run the recovery process and get a laptop in the state in which it is purchased in the store.
In my opinion, this is the best way, but you can not always use it - quite often, coming to a call for repairing a computer, I see that everything on the client's laptop, including the hidden section of the hard disk, was removed to install a pirate Windows 7 Maximum, with built-in Pakki Driver or Subsequent installation of drivers using Driver Pack Solution. This is one of the most unreasonable actions of users who consider themselves "advanced" and want to get rid of the laptop manufacturer programs that slow down the system.
Sample laptop recovery program
If you have not reinstalled Windows on your laptop (and did not cause grief-masters) And it is the same operating system with which it is purchased, you can easily use the recovery tools, this ways to do this:
- For laptops with Windows 7 almost all brands, in the "Start" menu there are recovery programs from the manufacturer, identify that can be called by name (contains the word recovery). Runing this program, you can see various ways to restore, including reinstalling Windows and bring the laptop to the factory state.
- Almost all laptops, immediately after switching on, on the screen with the manufacturer's logo, there is a text at the bottom, which button you want to click, in order to start recovery, for example,: Press F2 for Recovery.
- On laptops with installed Windows 8, you can go to "Computer Settings" (you can start typing this text on the starting screen of Windows 8 and quickly get into these parameters) - "General" and select "Delete all data and reinstalling Windows". As a result, Windows will be reinstalled automatically (although it may be a pair of dialog boxes), as well as all the necessary drivers and pre-installed programs will be installed.
Thus, reinstall Windows on laptops I recommend the above methods. There are no benefits of various assemblies like ZverDVD compared to the pre-installed Windows 7 home base. And the disadvantages can be called abound.
However, if your laptop has already been subjected to inept reinstallations and no recovery partition is no longer, we read on.
How to reinstall Windows for a laptop without a recovery section
First of all, we will need a distribution with the desired version of the operating system - a CD or flash drive with it. If you already have one, then wonderful, if there is no, but there is an image (ISO file) with Windows - you can burn it to a disk or create a bootable flash drive (see detailed instructions here). The Windows installation process itself on a laptop is not particularly different from the installation on a regular computer. An example you can see in the article about the installation of Windows that is suitable for Windows 7 and for Windows 8.
Drivers on the official website of the laptop manufacturer
When the installation is completed, you will have to install all the necessary drivers for your laptop. In this case, I recommend not using various automatic driver installers. The best way is to download the laptop drivers from the manufacturer's website. If you have a Samsung laptop, then go to samsung.com if Acer is on Acer.com, etc. After that, looking for the "Support" or "downloads" section and download the necessary drivers files, after which we set them in turn. For some laptops, the procedure for installing drivers (for example, Sony VAIO) is also important, there may also be any more difficulties that will have to be understood independently.
After installing all the necessary drivers, you can say that you reinstalled Windows for a laptop. But, once again, I note that the best way is to use the recovery section, and when it is not there is a "clean" Windows installation, and not "assemblies".
