According to Microsoft I need to perform an In-Place Upgrade on Windows 7 Home Edition to fix some corrected files that will let me receive Windows updates which I need to install Adobe software. (support.microsoft.com/.../2255099)
The instructions state "Insert the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD in the computer's DVD "
However when I purchased a DELL STUDIO XPS 8100 a few years ago it did not come with an operating system DVD. It came with a drivers CD but not a CD with the OS setup files on it.
Are the OS files located on the hard drive somewhere that I can point to instead of a DVD drive?
If not, how do I get a set Windows 7 Home Premium Edition installation disk?
