having trouble finding it on Dell due to the laptop lve been handed to repair being a discontinued model (or least thats why l assume l was unable to find a download using the service key).
however l was recommended to drop by a place lve obtained media from before (dont worry the site is completely legal links used to be microsoft based media until the Win7 links were pulled in favour of Win10 from what lve been told)

suffice to say, the site has the version of Win7 l require (Home Premium) l have a COA on the rear of the laptop in question, but not sure if Dell have some weird thing which means l need media from them (l know in the past lve had issues with other OSs but lm looking for confirmation before lm given the go ahead wanting to make sure before l obliterate the restoration partition)..
reason l want to do a full clean is when the laptop arrived it was unbootable due to a corrupted registry, but the thing is still beyond slow, and it originally had over 400 processes running in the background, suffice to say ld much prefer to do a clean install and get rid of any possible infections but be sure the codes work first.
