OEM win 7 problems

bertieck476 · 01-03-16, 08:25 AM

Hi folks, hope some one can help.
My daughters laptop is running very slowly and she has some uni deadlines to meet, she was previously told the problem was her hdd.
I have purchased a new ssd for it and was going to download a copy of win 7 from microsoft website but they recognise the coa as being oem supplied and give the message to contact hp.
The machine is still running albeit rather slow and it does have a recovery utility that IIRC can create recovery discs, the problem is that the new ssd is smaller capacity that the old hdd and from what I can glean from hp support forums it will not work.
Is there a way around this.
Cheers Bert.
