Dell Laptop with OEM Win7 home premium x64. If i do a repair install with non OEM win 7 cd, will it leave dell specific files and folders unaltered? If I have to, I can do a Dell DataSafe Restore and Emergency Backup but it won't save all the programs I have installed, desktop, etc.
Hello there,
All I can say that in my case, I did already all kinds of repair install / system repairs and even Tweaking.com System repair. In all cases my Acer-specific files and folders remained unaltered.
Bye
