from my trustee old VGN-AR71ZU and although I do have another laptop....still want to keep this one going. VistaUlitmate originally, but had them all running on it, includingW10Pro. which was excellent.

How can I fix it?

Hi @V-Woman

You have two choices.

1) Install a retail copy of windows and then download and install all available drivers and utilities from the Sony support site.

2) Purchase a set of recovery media from EET Europarts.

A third option maybe to try the recovery partition assuming that you haven't also deleted this (F10 at boot).

Thanks Rich....luckily still have recovery media but did not think it would be that simple. Will try it. Thanks again.
