Thanks for the update.

It is my understanding [ I am NOT an attorney / barrister. ] that Microsoft requires, in the license agreement that the computer vendor provide a means of repairing or re-installing Windows and make that available to the computer purchaser.

I have no documentation of that information.

If you formated the C Drive, probably not . . the MBR would have been rewritten

Interesting.

I have no experience w/ this recovery product.

However, I would have thought that using the recovery software on an identical computer would work.

Live & learn.

If your friend tries, sunt, please provide an update.
