How can I re-install Windows 7 on my ASUS notebook without a recovery disk?
I have an ASUS EeePC 1215B. The hard drive is corrupted/ damaged and is completely inoperable so I cannot boot from the hidden partition to re-install windows. I have tried cloning a Windows install from another computer to a portable hard drive, but when I try to boot this hard drive (connected via USB port) it does not get passed the "Starting Windows" screed before coming up with the Blue Screen of Death and restarting. I have tried Windows Startup Repair with no success. I am trying to boot Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit). Any suggestions?
How to reboot Windows 7 back to factory settings without disc?
Try this one first, if it doesn't fix it try the next ones... 1. Reboot, and repeatedly press F10 at the HP logo until the recovery screen appears. 2.

Or to perform a destructive recovery, (***This will erase all your unsaved data!***) Click "Advanced" and then "Yes". After the recovery is finished, the laptop will reboot. Or Reboot, and repeatedly press F11. Follow on screen prompts. Or Click Start>All Programs>Recovery Manager>Recovery Manager. Click continue if prompted. Click System recovery. When the PC restarts, select the System recovery option and click Next. If prompted to use the Microsoft System Restore program, click No, then Next. If you want to backup your personal files and settings, select Back up your files first (recommended) option, then click Next. Follow the on-screen instructions. When prompted to Recover without backing up your files, STOP before clicking Next. This is the final opportunity to change your mind about recovering the PC and deleting all the files and programs. Once you click Next, the restore process cannot be stopped. The PC immediately begins formatting. ©Techno
Once I've installed Windows 10, if I have to factory reset my laptop, will it revert to Windows 8.1 or stay on Windows 10?
Depends on which method of factory reset you use.If you use the recovery media, it will install the version that came with the laptop and it will behave exactly the same as if you had just bought and unboxed it. In this case, Koundinya Upadhyayula's answer is right.If you use the built-in reset functionality (from the modern Settings app), you will get a clean install of Windows 10. Your laptop will behave as if you had just bought it, too, but this time, it came with Windows 10. In this case, Paul Olaru's answer is right.

I have a Dell laptop without a CD drive and I need to install a program from a CD, what are some other ways I can install the program?
There are many applications to turn a disc into an ISO which you can virtually mount.What I do, and do note that I am broke so I don’t have a good way of doing this, is I put it in my laptop, turn it into an ISO, upload it to my Gmail, send myself the Link in Skype on a group with just me, download my own file (I don’t have a USB stick I can really put in and those I do have are slower than the net) and launch the ISO.You mentioned your LAPTOP not having this though and I assume your family do not own another computer so I would go ask a friend to install the ISO making program and bring the disc around.
How do I reset my PC to factory settings on Windows 8 without a recovery disk?
What you're looking for is the Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE). There are a couple of ways to access this in Windows 8:Settings > Power > hold Shift and click Restart (keep holding Shift until you get to the Recovery Environment).Settings > Change PC settings > General > Advanced startup > Restart now.From there, among other things you have the option to Refresh your PC (clear all user-installed software, updates, drivers etc. but keep your files) or Reset your PC (to factory settings, meaning you will lose all files on the system).Best of luck! I suffered through the awful experience of being a Windows 8 user for a few years, so I know the depth of pain and misery it can bring.

When powering on my laptop the screen went black and it read : No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key. Problem is i don't have a reboot disk and I have read on this that tapping the F8 key during startup brings up safe mode and you can restore it to an earlier date or something simmilar. Problem is it doesn't work. Please help as i have alot of important files on the Laptop, the model is an e-machines E520 if thats of any use. Is the only way to get rid of this to get a new hard drive, or empty this one, thanks in advance. :)
