is there a PROGRAM to erase CERTAIN things on my COMPUTER, but not erase the drivers and things like that that are needed? I bought my computer from a friend and there are some games and stuff that only unninstall if you have the disk, and I just want to have a fresh start, like i just bought it, but when i had bought it from him, he had lost the windows disk... so the program shouldnt erase needed things, like the OS, of course, and other things like drivers and stuff, but I do want it to erase things like UNNEEDED FILES, games, and things like that... also, I want to keep things like internet explorer, microsoft word, and some other things ... any suggestions???The best thing you can do with a used computer is collect all the neccessary drivers beforehand and then do a complete format and clean install of Windows...
We'll be glad to help you with the process...wont i have to rebuy windows though?Not if you have a product ID sticker on that machine that has a Windows reg code #
Even still if it was running a legit copy of Windows there are ways to do it properly.
Check with your friend and see.k, thanks!No Problem...
