recovery media

Second order of business:
If you have not made the Recovery Media for your computer, please do so as soon as you can.  For Windows 7, type "recovery" in the search field under All Programs in the Start Menu.  For Windows 8, 8.1 and 10, you'll need to go to the Setting panel.  Windows 7 should make the recovery media on DVD, the others need a USB flash drive of at least 16GB, but I have needed one of 32GB capacity for one of my laptops.

Most off the shelf computers will have some kind of recovery or media creation software.  Look for a folder in your Start Menu with the name of the company, such as "Dell" or "HP" or "Lenovo."  Use that software to make the recovery media.
