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.
