I just bought a brand new hard drive for my laptop. my last one was fried. I got it and now i need to get windows on it. How can i do it and what is the best and cheapest way to do it. I'm asking for the best and cheapest because i am a college student and money is tight. Any help would be appreciated.
Do you have restore disks for the computer or an XP disk?
i'm not 2 sure, where can i find that information out?
Look around your house. They're physical cd's. If you have them, they should have come with the computer.
Download your version of Windows through torrent, Then use you key to activate windows. This is not illegal because you own windows, specially if you have a key. Windows will not let you download from their website without buying the OS again because people could use keygens. Works fine, had to do it with my ASUS laptop after getting a new black hard drive. Perfectly legal, although no Microsoft employ would say so. Hope it helps
