The system its running on is: Microsoft Windows XP-Home Edition-Version 2002-Service Pack 3. Since its used, I wanted to restore back to brand new (default) status, but I don't have the discs. 2nd I thought might as well update it to Windows 7. I called BEST BUY-GEEK SQUAD to get quotes, for my first option (reset to default) they said I had to buy my restoration discs from HP first for around $20, then take it to Best Buy so that they can install and fix for $130!!!!! I then asked ok, well what if I just update it to Windows 7 (u know buy the software discs and stuff) and they told me IT CAN'T DO THAT, XP IS THE HIGHEST IT GOES. Now I have a feeling thats NOT TRUE because many people have updated their old computers to new software....IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS, OR AT LEAST GIVE ME SOME INSIGHT OR ADVICE, OR A CHEAPER WAY, MY WALLET AND I WOULD APPRECIATE IT!

I have taken everything off the machine that I could and I still need another 2 free gigs. I am installing from a flash drive. Anyone have any ideas, or how did others install with an operating system already on the machine?
