So I created a slipstream copy of W7 from my own installation disk, using the serial that's on the side of his pc, works a treat, plus it means it only has minimal patching to do.
Although now, we use Acronis true home to restore our pc's back to a bare W7 install, as it's free for anyone who has a western digital drive.  |
Guess what Adam ,mine is a Compaq bought from pc world (limited funds so not much choice)and the amount of controlling software that HP put on their machines is unbelievable and even if you uninstall it some of the stuff that controls graphics ,sound etc keeps on coming back from the HP partition they put on for all the HP crapware .Out of a 500gb HD i lost 19.3 gb for a recovery and 4gb for HP tools
