How do I do a wipe and re-install on my Windows 7 HP Laptop while keeping Office Starter?


I have an HP Pavilion dv7 laptop that came with Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and Office Starter. It's been running slowly lately, so I want to wipe it. I have a Windows 7 HP disk (did not come with the laptop), and I know the laptop has a built-in recovery disk stored on the HDD.


I'm wondering if there is a way for me to wipe my computer (or speed it up some other way) while keeping Office Starter.


By wipe, I mean wipe and re-install.


Answer



If you use the recovery partition that shipped with your laptop to re-install Windows it will return to the laptop to out of the box condition. Meaning if it shipped with Office Starter it will have Office Starter after you reinstall from the recovery partition.
