Laptop needs an Operating system

[William Hayes]

Evening,

Had a virus on my laptop recently and it was bad enough that my roomie decided to format it as a way of fixing the problem, but now I got a toshiba satellite laptop without an os.

One idea I had is if anyone sees this before game maybe someone can bring the disc/discs and it installs as the games on.

If this isn't too silly a request and if installs don't take as long as I fear they do can anyone respond to this thread and/or pm me by will say 530 so I can decide if bringing my laptop to game is a good idea or bad idea.

OS I prefer is some verson of vista as that is what was on it previously. Otherwise backdating it to xp might be good to as xp is more reliable then vista. I don't know if the specs could handle windows 7 before the question is asked.

Thanks for reading,

Matthew

PS Again if the install process is too long for a os can ya let me know I am being ridiculous if I am. I am just exploring my fastest and best option

If your computer could handle Vista, it can handle Windows 7... easily.

That said... Lesson to be learned here is -never- let someone format your computer unless you have the OS backed up and ready to load from disc or hard disk. Oi!

That said, I have a copy of Windows XP you can straight up have. It's a retail copy. I run 7, so I don't need XP any more. I have put the disc in my game bag... Do not bring your laptop. You can install it at home on your own time.
