I had a Sony VAIO laptop which needed fixed.
They had to install a new harddrive along with a new OS.
All my old files that were not backe dup were lost.
The PC will run, but it has no programs on it.
Several Questions:
1) Since there is no anti-virus, what anti-virus and other protection programs should I download and install (for free)...is there a list?
2) Sadly it does not have Microsoft Office, which is vital for me. I need and use the word processor, excel, and powerpoint. I do not have an old copy, am I SOL, or is there anyway I can get my hands on an old product key or download one for free online.
(If any of you can, PLEASE PM me a copy or key code!)
3) Basically, what programs and in what order should I download so my PC is safe and useable?
4) Lastly, once I download MS Office and iTunes, will all my program files and documents I do have backed up be able to be read and accessed on the PC?
Thanks!
