Run your installation CD and install Windows, just make sure you don't format your Drives, your old windows will automatically be moved to a folder called "Windows.old" and it will contain all your files intact. You can then move them to your new window. But you have to re-install your softwares. 4 Likes |

smartbingari: hello pc geeks I need someone to help me if the is anyway to restore My pc running window 7 pro without deleting my files. not restoring it from last restore point. When you do a factory reset, your files and programs will be affected(deleted). That is why the system advices you to backup prior to a factory reset. If the system is booting to windows, I will advice you use a flash drive to backup our files before you do a reset. But in the situation that your system does not boot, u need to take it to a tech that will host your hardisk to another system and backup your files, before doing a reset. |

There are two methods you can either create a backup of your hard drive by: 1. Opening Backup and Restore by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Backup and Restore. 2. In the left pane, click Create a system image, and then follow the steps in the wizard. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. ( Culled from http://www.moderntechtutors..com ) Or follow what Osyxcel said. |

Reboot from safe mode or installation disc, run restore by setting Window to a previous date, that way your files remains intact. |

yerima11: It will be a lot easier if your installation disc is a bootable type. Else, go to the advance settings of your PC and change your 1st boot device to CD rom. |

You can then move them to your new window. But you have to re-install your softwares. That is exactly how to install a fresh windows 7 without affecting your files, although u might have to reinstall your Softwares (Applications) but you will surely get all your Music, videos and other documents back at c:\windows.old\users exactly where u placed them before the re-installation i wont really go with backing up as some users suggested. it is really useless when you recover the old files you backed up a month ago or more, thereby losing the latest files, and i am not sure the OP might wanna do a backup right now that he wants a fresh windows OS, except if he wants to go back to the same spot he was. |

^^^ @Dawatech Pls kindly enlighten, I have a 500GB HDD Dell laptop which I previously partitioned win. ("C" to 15GB and a large ""400-plus GB for my main storage.. I did an unofficial win 7 ultimate upgrade and b. tooth has refused to work.. I wish to restore to factory default but fear it might mess my partition scheme and perhaps expunge all my digital life. I have no spare disk to copy the 400plus Gig. Movies and stuff and don't wanna lose it either. Your advice is needed pls. |
