I have an old laptop with Windows 7 on it that runs really slow from old junk just building up on it and would like to restore to factory default. I never set a restore point, I don't have an installation disk, but I do know my Windows Activation Key. Is there anything I can do to restore it, without having to have an installation disk?
Answer
Don't think that's possible. You can do a System Restore to restore it to a earlier point. You don't gotta wipe your whole computer, do these:
1) Virus Scan
2) Clear up downloads folder
3) Empty Recycle Bin
4) Clear all Cookies/Cache/History
5) Find some Registry Errors
6) Do a disk cleanup (Windows Key + R, type in "cleanmgr)
7) Download a System Optimizer Ex. Tuneup utilities 2013 (Http://tune-up.com)
8) Download a System Cleanup Tool (Advanced System Care 6.1 PRO or CCleaner)
9) Clean up My Docs
10) Delete junk files
11) Uninstall Junkware (Junk pre-installed on PC)
Although, you can install a Linux Based Operating System (Called Linux Distros)
They have a good file system and they don't get fragmented very much either, they are fast, too. The only drawback is that they don't have a lot of games compatible so it is not for gamers, it is for programmers or basic internet searchers. It is pretty virus free aswell. No more baby-sitting windows for Linux!

What is the best cheap gaming laptop?
Joul
The laptop must be under $750. The processor must be intel core i5 or i7. It must have a minimum 4gb of ram. I dont care what the brand, the weight is or the size is. I just want the laptop can run smoothly on Simcity (2013). Touch screen is optional though.
Answer

Buying advice
Apple makes a good quality laptop. The problem comes when it requires service or minor upgrades. It is near impossible to do anything with them. They even glue the battery and hard drive down so you can not change it. They solder the ram to the logic board so you can not increase it. They lock up most of the software so your stuck with what they approve.
Ultrabooks are the higher end of Wintel laptops but they have some of the same concerns as Apple. They make it next to impossible to change any hardware in them. Service of them will have to be done by the manufacturers. With most of them, you can not change your own battery or hard drive. They are designed to catch your eye but they are not any more special then other laptops except for the fact that they are slim or thin. Your paying for it being thin and slim. For the money your going to spend on it you can buy a much better laptop with more power.
Hybrids are the worse of the worse. The flip or detachable touch screens are just a disaster waiting to happen.
Never buy an All In One. They are far worst then laptops of any kind to service and they have a higher failure rate. My experience with them are limited because the few I worked on made me think they were designed in such a way as it would take a blow torch and a jack hammer just to disassemble them.
Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them.
Companies like Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony should be avoided at all cost because of their heavy modification of Windows and the drivers. If you remove some of the bloat they install you can cripple the system.
Acer, Gateway, and eMachines should be avoided period. Low end system that are driving the race to the bottom.
Dell once made a good system and fell from grace. They are now struggling to regain their place in the market.
Samsung has a history of using cheap parts in critical areas. Capacitors has been one area Samsung has a known history of going cheap causing units to fail early leading to repairs that should not have been needed. For that reason I would avoid them.
ASUS and HP do not modify Windows as bad as the other manufacturers. They might add a lot of bloat but they also makes it easy to get rid of it.
