Good morning.
Back in 2009 I purchased a dell laptop with XP. I upgraded it to 7home premium. Now being almost 9 years old there is almost no space at all left,even after using duplicate fingers and such. So I copied its entire contents to a external hard drive and am planning to wipe out everything thing with a drive wiper to clean it out and try to get it as close to factory reset as I can.(It's going to be used more as a word processor for my writing). Will this process also wipe my operating system too? Will I have to reinstall windows 7 ,though I used an upgrade disk, leaving me with no windows 7 disks? Or should I just wait and try to install the new windows 10? Sheesh! I do ask alit, don't I? Lol.... Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks
