Pc Faulty - How to uninstall OS

CrixxzeH · 6 Oct 2015 at 15:16

Hope everyones good @ OcUk.

I've got a faulty PC that won't POST for some reason or another.

Now, the HDD that was installed on this PC has my only Win 7 64bit key installed and as I can't get the system to boot to uninstall, how and what are the options for doing so? I also have files on this HDD I would like to recover.

Please advise it would be much appreciated.

It is win 7 hp OEM aswell just checked the disk case. Was hoping for a simple uninstall and then be able to use on another Pcs HDD. Damn. Thankyou Huddy and ED209

As bad as it sounds. How can you tell if it's retail or OEM?

I could use the disk to install on the new system and then buy another win7 OEM key and then upgrade to Win 10 right? That'll be cheaper surely?

OEM comes with pre built systems like HP, dell etc so you only get retail if you go and buy the OS on its own which is normally £86 + (that's for W10 retail)

Get you. My case definitely says OEM system builder pack. Thankyou for the knowledge.
