That would be great..Tried downloading the Microsoft windows 10
tool...It wouldn't do it because this system is windows 8.1...I also
tried downloading Spower...Windows reset program..It burned ok onto
the zip disk .but the locked computer wouldn't recognize it as
a boot option...refereed to it as removable source...so I'm downloading
windows 8.1 now..and I'll make sure the zip disk is formatted correctly,
My system is a 64 bit operating system..
