Hello all TechRepbulic folks! I may possibly acquire Windows XP recovery disks from the original source I got them from 4 years ago. Have to send a copy of the police report and hope for the best. I am purchasing Windows 7 Pro and Microsoft Word 2010-just have to save up for it, though I do get them discounted from a certain website that caters to students. Thanks again. All of you are pretty right on save for one individual who I won’t name. Bye.
