Hi, I'm planning to reformat my C-Drive. Win.10 has been downloaded (I didn't intent to do it) over my original Win7which came installed on the Satellite.
My Satellite Laptop is about 4 years old and I have never reformatted it. Now, it has a slow start up and is in need to reformat. I have made backups for my important files on my external HDD.
The win7 product key is on the bottom of the laptop.
Since I don't have the Win7 CD, I'm not sure about how to get back to Win7.
I press the number 0 on startup and get to the point of erasing everything on the HDD. I just don't know how to get Win7 back....After the reformat and erase, how do I download Win7? I'm not sure if I will have the opportunity to do it then.
I will appreciate if anybody has any suggestions. Thanks in advance, Ann
