Tomorrow I'll buy a factory-installed netbook with Windows 7 preinstalled. The woman doesn't know her way around and neither do I. If she formats everything, can you reinstall the operating system without the CD being included?
For this kind of thing, an extra partition is provided for OEM installations, with which the system can be reset to its initial state. If it is formatted from the outside and maybe even repartitioned, then nothing works. If Win7 is then a feature of the article, it must provide a replacement.
You shouldn't buy a notebook with Windows 7 anymore. Support expired in January.
If you have the installation CD or usb stick ready, this is possible right before windows start…
Thanks for the information. In any case, I only need it for letters of application, saving data and possibly watching films.
Since you don't have an installation CD with you, I would suggest the following procedure:
First you need the product key from the installed Win7, which says https://praxistipps.chip.de/...ssen_37501
after that you should test with the update assistant whether Win10 is running on the laptop (I don't know how old it is). That stands https://www.chip.de/...00470.html
If the laptop is suitable for this, you can also install Win10 with the assistant.
You will need the product key if something goes wrong, then you can install Windows yourself at no cost.
If something like that happens, feel free to ask again here.
Well then have a nice 1st Advent and
