Sorting out an old laptop.

[Extrememining]

Hi,

I have an old Toshiba Satellite laptop and i am trying to get it lo load better. It is riddled with viruses and i don't have the disk for windows 7. Is there any way to wipe the PC and reinstall windows with the code but no disk?

Thanks!

Some laptops can be factory reset within the BIOS I think... Try and see if you can factory reset it, You wont need the installation disk or product key that way

When the laptop is booting keep pressing F11 or F12 on the keyboard but be careful when entering bios as you can screw the laptop quite easily

 

EDIT: if you cant find factory reset in the bios try this http://www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-1961538/reset-toshiba-laptop-window.html
