Hey people
So heres the deal... I am running Vista basic and it has gotten slow as shit..
I lost my original CD for windows but I still have the sticker with the serial key attached.
I have work software which I need off this PC aswell as lots of work info. I am using OpenOffice instead of word.
Can I replace the OS without losing all my info and programs etc? Can I download a copy of Vista and then just plug in the product key? Its running so sloooow.. and its not the system specs. I have had the unit for like 18 months and it has just deterioarated....
What do you guys recommend??
