I will start off saying hello, I am new here, but I've been coming here for YEARS using solutions here to fix computers for family, friends etc.. etc. I will say, I am rather a impatient person by nature, so if I seem in a hurry to you, that is why, lol. Name is Steve from the U.S., I'm a graphics designer by trade. Anything yuo wanna know please by all means ask.
My problem is,
I purchased a 1 year old awesome hardware wise PC from a friend. BUT, their is tons wrong with it software wise. .framework or what ever is messed royally, can not install any drivers for nvidia card (And i have tried EVERY solution on these forums & Nvidia forums & Windows Seven forums) nothing has worked at all. I've been to a total of about 31 different forums & have tried everything, nothing works.
So my question is, can I download Windows 7 & use it to re-install Windows 7 on this PC using the Product key it came with ? Cause the person I bought the PC off, does not have the disc, she said it didn't come with one. She bought it online from Tiger Direct. I have contacted them & the original owner contacted them & they won't release a Disc to her nor me. She even showed proof of purchase but they still denied it cause it has been about 3 weeks over a year from time of purchase. The PC hardware wise is absolutely epic, superb. But software wise it is messed. I cleaned all viruses & mal/adware off it.
Any ideas/help is so very appreciated.
**EDIT**
I must also add, there have been no hardware changes at all, it is the very same pc, just need to re-install windows 7. Person who owned it before me, deleted the back up partition of the computer accidentally. So I can't restore it or reset it to back to factory settings. So it is a must I get a copy of Windows 7 to re-install.
