    How do I go about installing windows on a computer that I am not sure ever had it installed?


    My department bought an HP Prodesk a couple years ago but never set it up for use. It has been sitting out of the box on a table for over a year and now we are trying to use it. Only problem is that it says there is no operating system installed. What should I do?

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage
