I have a Dell Studio laptop that got some kind of virus and will not boot up any more can I just get a new hard drive for it to make it work like to give it to my 9 year old to use for school ?

Thank you
 
Yes, just purchase any 2.5" SATA drive.

You will however, need to reinstall Windows. Did the computer come with Vista or 7?
 
it came with vista but I have the 7 update for it.

Would it be hard for myself a novice at computers to do all of this?

As long as you have the 7 disc and key you'll be fine.

Once you get Windows installed, you just go to http://support.dell.com, plug in your service tag, and download all the necessary drivers for the laptop.
