Hi guys,

About 2 years ago I bought a Toshiba laptop. It cam with Windows 7 Home Premium.
I have installed a not so legal copy of Windows 8 a while back. Now my problem is I have the windows 7 Home Premium Licence sticker at the bottom of the laptop, but now which copy(Windows7HP) do I download to work with this serial? As in a legit copy? And where can I download this?

Thank you :)

One can assume the laptop came with a Home Premium key. So you must install that one. Grab any 32 or 64 bit .iso and delete the ie.cfg file under the sources folder on the installation disc and bob's your uncle.
 
Dont you have a "Factory Reset" option? Google for your specific model.

Usually laptops come with a split harddrive with a small partition that has an image of how your laptop originally came.

You can then just reset it and the laptop wipes the bigger partition and loads that original image for you with windows, etc.
 
If he loaded win 8 on himself, partition would have been seen, oh what is this ****, I want that extra few gigs! Delete.
 
He could of selected the upgrade option in which case the partitions wouldn't of been alterred
 
Just install the Win10 technical preview.

You'll upgrade to the full release as it rolls out and then no need to worry about any of this.
