i see the option to refresh my laptop, but it says it will only keep documents, pics etc, it says you will lose installed programs, does anyone know a way you can do a reinstall without losing the apps?

thanks

ah brilliant, i didn't have it on disk, i had it as a downloaded file from ms, can i just use that same file and copy it back to my laptop, i did save the file on a usb stick.
