Reformatting without disks/license keys

[Jessica2]

So its time for me to reformat my hard drive on my computer. However i did not recieve a windows 7 os disk and have lost my microsoft word disk with the license key in it. Is there a way i can delete everything but still have the os and have microsoft word still registered? My current OS is Windows 7 home edition 64bit.

In my opinion, you are likely going to lose your Microsoft Word. But a good alternative to Microsoft Word is Open Office. Open Office is free and can be downloaded from here:

What do you mean by that? Is it necessary? What problem do you have?

Provided you can still boot your machine, you could download and run WinGuggle which will recover your Win 7 and Office Product keys.

How are you going to format your hard drive if you don't have a windows 7 disk?
You need a windows 7 cd to reinstall, so dont format nothing til you get one.

Instead of formatting you could make a system repair disk that would restore the computer from a system image. More info is located here. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-system-repair-disc
