If you have been following the blog you might be aware that I undertook a clean install of Windows 7 on a laptop. Of course, there’s a process to go through in order to backup existing data, reinstall Windows and then copy back the required data from the backup.

It’s a cinch to use, simply tick the boxes for the software that you want to install and click the “Get Installer” button down the bottom of the page.

Ninite is free for home use and is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
