“Can you install windows 10 OS on a laptop that has had everything erased? I had windows 7 Home and then I forgot my password so I tried to bypass the password. I ended up wiping out my whole entire OS. I can still turn it on and type in my password, but I've lost all my drivers and such. I was just wanting to know if it is just best to buy the windows 10 OS or just buy a new laptop.”

You can load Windows 10 still, if you have issues with the drivers, you can either download a driver utility to update drivers (see warning below), OR you can go to the manufactured website for each device and download the newest driver for your laptop and Windows 10. Windows should be able to load most of the drivers automatically though. WARNING: As with any software download, investigate the software first and make sure you have a good virus and Internet protection software. There are many applications out there that are good, but there are many viruses, adware, ID stealing apps, and hostage applications out there as well? Webroot, McAfee, & Norton are good, it is mainly a preference and what they cover - try to match what fits your usage best, they are similar. Hostage applications are what I like to describe as malware, viruses, and scamming software. You run a free scan and it tells you that you have all these issues.,your software is then infected until you pay the company a fee ( I call it a scamming random)., so be cautious.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would imagine so - my 14 year old grandson just installed it on a computer he built himself from parts he ordered online. Works perfectly!!! He was so happy!!!! I hope you are just as lucky although a brand new laptop is always great but you'll pay a lot more than for just for Windows 10. At least then you'd have a bit more time to afford one and/or a good backup when you do get another laptop!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Windows 10 does a lot of online driver searching itself and comes with many drivers out of the box. If you have access to another machine and a flash drive, you can also load the drivers onto that and then install them from the flash drive.
