It did not do that for me. It tried to repair my system, but it didn't work, though it may not have been the disk's fault. I finally figured out the hard drive itself was failing and had to be replaced.

Uninstall current operating system from your hard drive. Then get official windows 7 and install it.

I think you will have to buy a copy and reimage it. I have been very happy with Windows 8. You might want to try it for a while before investing in 7. Good luck!

Hi Wade, the system comes with the Windows disk for complete re-install if needed, otherwise Windows does have backup and recovery built in.

I no longer have that computer so I don't know if it will run window 7, and have no other information on this product currently.This was compatible with Windows XP.

Yes, the system I was using already had Win 7 with the original drive not working. I didn't have any issue replacing this drive under Win 7 at all. The OS recognized the drive right away. Hope this helps!

If your using it as a secondary drive Windows will reformat it for you. I reformatted mine several times.

I have not used it for that purpose, but it should. The whole point of the recovery disk is to return your Windows operating system to you. You may still have to repair problems after recovery, but you will have a fighting chance of avoiding a reinstallation of Windows and a subsequent loss of data. The recovery disk has saved me from disaster several times. Let us know how that works.

You would need to wipe your hard drive, and install windows 7. But also be careful, sometimes it may not turn out successful.

Yes, it will give you the option to upgrade from a previous Windows edition (which will let you keep all your documents and personal media) in the installation menu. You may also wipe your hardrive and make a fresh install as well.

There will be nothing on the hard drive left. Its wiped clean. You'll have to reinstall with new software.

If you have a Windows 7 installation disk as well as a Windows 7 serial number/key( on the disc packaging) and a computer capable of running Windows 7 sure . Here is a linkhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-reinstalling-windows#1TC=windows-7

Probably will have to reformat (do a complete re-install which wipes everything you have on the disk). Before doing, backup all your data first (you should be able to re-install your applications if you have legal copies or backups). You can try upgrading (Windows 8 supposedly allows you to do that but there are no guarantees it will work). Back up to an external hard disk (should plus into a USB port on your computer) or a high capacity flash drive (depends on how much data you need to copy). After backing it up when the install of Windows 8 is done you should be able to copy you backed up data to your computer once Windows 8 is installed.
