Hey guys, im looking to start my computer all over again, now i know you can clean it all out and have absolutely nothing left and have to re-install everything you need, like windows, microsoft office, etc... but i cant do that because my dad is paying a lot for the anti-virus and you can only install it once and then you have to buy it again so is there anyway of just going back to the original state?

thanks in advance.


EDIT: Change of plan, he says you can uninstall and reinstall the anti-virus as many times as you want so i can wipe it all and start all over again. Just one question, how do you do that?

EDIT2: No worries, found a brilliant step-by-step guide.
