Formatting Windows 7 on laptop with local recovery partition
Hey guys! Hope you don't mind me asking for some tech help! :P
So I want to reformat / reinstall my pc (not sure which term is the right one). I've got a laptop with Windows 7, with a recovery partition on the internal hard drive. I was looking around on the interwebz for some walkthroughs on how to reinstall, but none of them accounted for using the local recovery partition and they go on about burning Win7 onto DVDs or making a bootable USB...
A friend told me there was a simpler way that took less than an hour to perform, using the local recovery partition. But he didn't remember how... This is where you guys come in! :P
(sorry if you think I'm lazy and should just keep googling, if you feel that way then that's ok. I just feel better getting "live" tips instead of following outdated and incomplete guides :shades:)
