Installing windows 7 again?

[Thomas_239]

Hello guys
I had a BSOD this morning.
And I got told that I should reinstall windows 7.
But once I reinstall. Do I use the key that's already stuck to my computer on the side on a sticker?
Because the PC come from the manufacturer with windows installed. Is that key for my computer only ?

Yes, if you have an OEM installation disk then you can do a clean installation using the key on the sticker to activate. If you don't have installation media then you will need to either use the OEM disk partition to reinstall or buy an installation disk from somewhere like EBay (just be sure that it is a compatible disk, i.e. the same OEM version that you have).
