This disk cannot be used to install or reinstall windows 7. If you have lost the drivers you will probably have to call the laptop maker and request a disk that will actually replace the drivers you lost. $40.00 or take your laptop to office depot and have them make you a disk for about the same. hope this helps Joseph.

Yes. Just make sure the old drive is SATA. Remember to format it to windows file system NTSF if using windows.

Yes all you have to do is replace your old harddrive with the new, turn your computer on and then put in the disk and do what it tell you.

The best way to go about it is to wipe the hard drive for a clean install of 64 bit Windows7. There are drivers for Win7 64 bit on Acer's site so I imagine there wouldn't be any problems. As soon as mine arrives I plan to wipe and install Win7.

Hi Really depends on the age of your machine. This version is for system builders, meaning you'd have to wipe windows xp and install win7 fresh. This won't upgrade an existing windows installation. If your machine is older than 4 years, I'd suggest a new machine. The install took 15gb of my hard disk

when mine got the win 7 partition deleted, i tried to use the f9 partition, but unfortunately, it does not restore the operating system, i don't actually know what it does....

Doubt it. They don't really do that anymore, and it's not listed under the "What's in the box" section. More likely it comes with a restore partition.

Hi there...I think its hard to go windows7...of course we can do it but...I suggest to stick to the windows 8 better. but before you install...try to download factory recovery DVD first in case....If it is external..of course you can...anyway...good luck with your customization of your system.

Yes. Lets just say the disk with the driver that comes with it is for W7 it's fine because when you activate it your computer is going to search for the most updated driver on line. Hope that helps!

Yes..without a problem. But..(I don't remember if it had an operating system on it when it arrived) unless it has the operating system on it..you'll have to use a "full blown" version of Windows 7..not the upgrade.

You have to check with the vendor for exact configuration available. I got one with Win7 Pro 32bit, pre-installed. It came with a knock-off "Win 7 repair CD" and a DVD with a current "system image" for recovery of the operating system in the event the drive fails.

Yes it should all you should have to do is swap out the motherboard and reinstall your os.

Yes if you have the Disk all you have to do if re-format the hard drive and do a fresh install. As long as you have a good disk and License you will not be running to problems and it should update. Another option is to partition the hard drive and add Windows 7 which is the option I would do. I would have a dual boot so I could boot into W 8 or W 7. I would want to keep the original operating system for future reference. As long as you know how to do these steps yourself as you will not get any tech help you will be fine with this laptop. Good luck.

Yes, but you will need the product code for the OS on the unit if your using a recovery disc. If you have the original install disc, then the code should be on it or on the side of the computer.
