I’ve searched elsewhere on forum but not sure I have found the right flavor of advice. Longs story: I received a 310 (blue) as a gift from my company. It is loaded with 7 pro image and a bunch of other stuff on it. It’s way to sluggish and I’d like to put it back to the factory settings.
I gave my wife an hp mini that we upgraded from stater to the standard using the anytime upgrade ( received only the key). She cracked that screen closing the lid on earbuds. So I own a legit copy of windows 7 home, but no disks and have not managed to figure out how to get them.
So, I’d like to roll back the “Go” to home without the overhead of running pro and all the fun things that the company though we would want when they gave us the gift. (except the two years of free dialup, I’d like to keep that). I feel lime I won a copy, I just don’t have the disks to load it.
Thoughts? Thanks so much in advance. New to all of this. My other project is to attempt a screen repair on the hp. Can’t hurt at this point, the cost to repair that is cost of a new one…..
Welcome to the forum Captarmchair,
The Win 7 on the HP will still really be just licensed only to that machine, and replacing the screen shouldn’t be hard. It’s a lot cheaper these days too.
Your Go should be able to be reset to how it was first set up by pressing F4 at bootup. I run Win 7 Ultimate on my NC10, there is not really any extra overhead over Win 7 Home, you can turn off any fancy stuff you don’t want running.
You may want to back up any important files before trying F4.
Hopefully you will end up with two useful machines again.
