If I don't have the recovery disks. I got it from my mother who wanted something different.

OK.

 Here is a url that goes to a document that explains how to order recovery media.

 

The recovery media is quite inexpensive (less than $30.00).

 

Recovery media contains your copy of the originally installed Microsoft Windows operating system, drivers and bundled software.

 

That is far less expensive than the option you have of purchasing a complete operating system from Microsoft.

 

Of course there is always the option of installing a free version of Linux.
