Switching from Ubuntu to Windows 7 help?

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1676 / 1 Year ago, sun, may 28, 2023, 6:20:55

I switched from windows 7 to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS a week or so ago on my Toshiba Satellite L755 I believe. It worked fine, but I had Internet problems and internal errors so I thought switching to 12.10 would fix everything, I was wrong.

Long story short, I want to switch back to windows 7 but when I installed over windows 7. I don't have a recovery CD because, can I create a recovery CD on another computer and use that?

Thanks Terry and everyone else who answered! I was able to restore my computer using a back up from when I had Windows 7 so if all goes well I'll be set.

You have a few options (Not all will work for you depending on your situation, but at least a couple should work.).

You can go to Toshiba's support page and buy a recovery disk: https://support.toshiba.com/repair

You can use your recovery partition by selecting F1, F8, etc. when booting (see "Free options: on the Toshiba support website link.

You may also borrow an OEM version of Windows from a friend (with the exact same version as your computer). Enter in your product key when installing (usually on the bottom of the computer).

Stay with Ubuntu! (Just saying it is a good choice too :-) )
