okay so i bought a 400 dollar computer last night...values at 1700 or so.
this guy built it not knowing crap really.....cable management was horrible.
he has windows 7 pro running on this machine.... i want to do a clean install but when i looked at the box it is an upgrade..... so how can i do a clean install as i don't have the original o.s he was running and don't have a spare disc myself...i do have my 7 home disc but that's for my main computer.
i want to completely wipe everything and start fresh as this guy didnt know what he was doing....its booting from the cd/writer instead of the ssd.
so can i wipe everything and just use the install (upgrade) disc to do a fresh install or do i need a previous activated os on the machine to do so.
