That's why I suggested that the manufacturer's support site should be the first destination when help is needed. It's not worth us speculating about what method might be used for a particular make and model, but most support sites and product forums will have the answers.

If you have that option, I would really go for a clean install.

That depends on the manufacturer. I had to burn the recovery disks when I installed
Ubuntu Linux on my daughter's HP laptop. When I was finished reinstalling the Windows OS I was delighted to see it was a pretty clean instance of Win7 without the crap that was there originally from the factory.
