Now that there is technically no operating system on the disk, I'm going to try and "restore" once more and see what happens. nothing had changed?! The exact copy of Win 7 I had installed on there still existed I had no idea what it was doing for 30 minutes? So I did that, actually did a "restore" taking 30 minutes but when I restarted. after some research I found out I can get into the restore partition on the command line via the Win 7 install disk. It is there but because I basically attempted to "reinstall" from my own Win 7 ISO rather than just restore (as I didn't think the restore partition even existed!) it seems to have knocked out using "Ctrl + F11" to get into the "PC Restore" software. It is VERY strange and I can't figure it out (hence me just chucking a spare Win 7 Professional on it). Therefore it has to come with some sort of operating system. Or put it back to factory settings with the restore media you created when you bought it - you did create the recovery media did you not?Īh, because I'm just selling it to a shop, not someone on eBay (after fees, delivery it really isn't worth it I've worked out). Then why do you care if there is anything on it - just wipe the drive and sell it with NO OS - let the buyer put whatever OS they want on it.
