Reinstalling Windows 7
You can reinstall Windows 7 using Recovery in Control Panel, under Advanced recovery methods. This method reinstalls Windows 7, either from a recovery image provided by your computer manufacturer, or from your original Windows 7
installation files. You need to reinstall all of the programs that you
added, and restore all of your files from a backup. For more
information, see Choosing an advanced recovery method.
If Windows 7 doesn't run at all, you can reinstall Windows using your original Windows 7
installation disc. To do this, follow the instructions in "Using the
Custom installation option and formatting the hard disk" earlier in this
topic.
Note
-
Back up your files before you begin reinstalling Windows 7 if possible, even if you're reinstalling Windows 7 on a hard disk partition, and you have personal files on a separate partition. For example, if you have encrypted files, you might not be able to access them after reinstalling Windows. A custom installation replaces the current version of Windows 7 and all personal files.
