Windows 7 Installation CD

[PhiloVance]

My laptop did not come with a win7 install CD. How do I determine what version/level of Win 7 is installed on my laptop and d/l a cd to fit?

Just look in system properties or type Winver in to Start-Run

Download the appropriate DVD iso:

Or Start-Control Panel-System

OK, I've d/l and copied the .iso to my DVD. Is that it, no further conversion? An .iso file will work ok?

You will need to make a CD or DVD from the .iso file that you can use to install or reinstall. You can't install directly from the .iso file.

No. You are supposed to burn the .iso as an IMAGE, not just copy the file to a DVD.

If you did it correctly, a computer should be able to boot from it. If not, it won't.
