A Reinstall Upgrade of Windows 7

I found a great article on Windows Secrets.  If your troubled computer still boots into Windows 7, you can repair it by doing a reinstall.  You'll need your Windows 7 disk and key code.  It is always good to keep your Windows 7 disks or to buy or ask for one from your dealer/manufacturer when you get a new computer.

You boot your computer normally and insert your Windows disk and run Setup.exe off the disk.  When you get to question what type of installation you want, select the upgrade option.

For more information and detailed help see the article:  http://windowssecrets.com/newsletter/win7s-no-reformat-nondestructive-reinstall/#story1.

Hardware Repair

Don't be afraid to take off your computer case and look around.  Buy canned air and clean out all the dust clogging the cpu fan, case fan, and power supply.  Take out the ram sticks and put them back in.  Buy a bigger video card and put it in.  Or sound card.  If you have a techie friend ask them to check your work.  Or just do it yourself.  It isn't hard.

Here's Ducktoes Calgary Computer Repair Facebook page.
