i just reformatted my computer. i had seen clear instructions how to do it but i paid a place to do it because i didn't have the driver installation cd so i needed them to get it somehow. i heard the guy say (ghetto computer nerd, was i was laughing on the inside when i was talking to him) that they downloaded it from the microsoft website. he also said that i could maybe get it if i just downloaded a newer version of windows off the microsoft website. What i'm asking is: can i download drivers in a newer version of windows, and if not can i get them on the microsoft website? and without drivers can i still go online?
also, are they're any basic programs i need that windows doesn't come with(acrobat reader etc). and how do i know if i have the latest version of windows and if so i go to the microsoft website to get it right?
i specificly asked them to turn the windows firewall on but if i get another one it won't hurt right? i'm going to get nortan antivirus(teacher's cd).
thx for helping lol and i'll probably be able to know how to reformat for sure next time. i just didn't the first time because i wasn't 100% sure and i had extra money(thx god for work lol)
