Hi,

If Windows 7 came preinstalled, here are the Key/s to press at Boot to start the Recovery Process back to Factory Settings (new condition)

Sony Vaio – Tap F10 until the Edit Boot Options screen is displayed

Win 7 ISO for Sony Vaio: New SSD, failing HDD. I have no idea where to find a download for the Windows 7. Installed Win7 Pro 32 bit on laptop sony vaio.

If preinstalled, you can contact your Computer Manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of Recovery Disks.

Manufacturers normally do that for a small cost.

Or download the correct ISO file and make your own disk and use the Product Key that is on the COA Sticker.

And here are instructions on how to burn ISO images to disk:

Then do a clean install:

The COA sticker is either on the underside of the Laptop or in the Battery Compartment (you already have this).

With a Desktop it is either on the side, rear or top of the Computer Case.

Using the downloaded ISO file Method may require phone Activation.

If it does require phone Activation, do not follow the Auto Prompts, but hold on for a real person to explain to as to what has been done for re-installation purposes

The above method also will require you to go to your Computer Manufacturer's website > Support and Downloads Section > locate your Model Number and Operating System > then download and install the latest Drivers for it.
