See my Windows Reinstallation Guide/A Clean install of Windows 7: [URL] It will take you through the install step by step. If you want to supercharge the performance on this system install a Samsung 840 EVO 2.5" SSD or a Crucial M500 2.5" SSD and then clean install: [URL] [URL] Note the price of the SSD per GB is much higher than the conventional drive but the performance boosts are well worth it.  
Hi, I am looking to refresh my laptop. My warranty is up. Heard it would be good to reinstall windows 7 to clean system up (After saving my pic's ect…)   Am i biting off more then I can chew?  Would really like to clean it up and I have the time right now.  Only thing I added was some ram. Does this pose a problem? Have discs I appreciate any help. Sincerely, Danny
Inspiron 1545 about 5 years old. Best Way to refresh it?
