Greetings,
I have recently disassembled my Toshiba Satellite c650-11x. I cleaned it and I changed the thermal paste.
It's been 10 years since I bought the laptop and pretty much it was never really reinstalled or cleaned from all the random software, installed on it. So I wanted to do a factory reset to clean the system and start fresh.
It currently has Windows 7 Ultimate, though it came with Windows 7 Home Premium ( back then when I had the laptop for about 2-3 months, a friend of mine tried to move some of the memory from C to D drive, on my request, but something happened to the windows, while he was trying to move some memory to D drive and the Windows went to blue screen, so he had to take and reinstall it and he had installed Windows 7 Ultimate on it.
I want to reset to factory condition and then buy a license for Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate, as I just want to completely wipe and clean the system from all the random cluster I had installed on it during the years ( most of the times not really knowing If I really need the software and why I shouldn't download the software from the first site that comes in the google search ).
So, I tried to do a factory reset, but it asks me for an installation disc and I don't have one. I only have the license code for Windows 7 Home Premium, that is on a sticker on the laptop.
I will appreciated any help on how to do a factory reset to completely clean my laptop's system and reinstall Windows.
Thanks in advance!
