Solve : Program to wipe my computer? |
|
Answer» HI - I have a Lenovo computer and am running Windows 7. I want to wipe the computer and get it back to factory conditions. I have "Dban.org" but I was wondering if there are others which might be better. THANKS for suggestions. BobWipe? Bob, Do you want to: A. Get the computer back to how it was when you first got it. OR: B. Destroy all data so nobody else can use the computer or see what it had The debug.com is an old tool that dates back many years. You should not use it on a modern version of Windows. Geek-9pm - I have at least 3 problems that no body has been able to fix. Microsoft put 2 men on my computer for 6 hours and never did any good. They even refunded my money!!! My computer is a Lenovo and they sent me 4 dvd which they say will reinstall Windows 7 if the computer is at factory condition. I am running Windows 7 now and I want to keep that. I want to wipe the computer clean and start over. Thanks for your reply. BobIt;s overkill...if you boot to the Recovery media...delete the C:\ partition...format and continue with the install all is good...patio - You know I'm not to swift. Joke!! Thanks for your reply. I am going to take my computer and the disks to the Geeks at Best Buy. I went there a couple of days ago and they told me they would have to have the disk to reinstall Windows 7. I am going to have them do the change because I am afraid I will make a mistake. This is something I don't want to have a problem with. After all it is only money!!! It will be a couple of weeks before I get it done. I will let you know how things come out. Bob patio - As I said I will let you know how things turn out. I went to the Geeks at Best Buy and had them wipe my computer and reinstall Windows 7, after I got 4 discs from Lenovo. The first time it would not run but they worked on it again. It still was not right so I got a tech from my provider and he said everything was OK from his side. I could not find Windows 7 even though the spec said I had Windows 7. I then got Google Chrome. I can do everything I want to do on Chrome so I am getting along , however I would still like to have Windows 7. To say this has been a bother is an understatement!! I am writing this just in case someone else has ideas of doing the same thing. Maybe I should have GONE to Windows 10. BobWindows 7 is the popular computer operating system by Microsoft. Google Chrome more often means the browser but not the system. You have the Chrome browser for use on Windows. https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/ The above is for the b browser, the the system. Quote Chrome OS is an operating system designed by Google that is based on the Linux kernel and uses the Google Chrome web browser as its principal user interface. As a result, Chrome OS primarily supports web applications.It is found on small low-cost computers called "Chrome Books." Geek-9pm - Thanks for your reply. I understand what Windows 7 is. The problem is that the specs show that Windows 7 and SP 1 is in the computer but I can not find it. I want to use Internet explorer as my browser but I can not find it. I am using Crome as my browser. This works pretty good but it is not what I want.

Back on September 10, 2016, he said he needed IE browser.Don't know why you would post that link. IE 11 is part of all Windows systems, and it's surely part of his system. He just doesn't know how to find it. |
