Every
operating system needs an occasional repair job, and Windows 7 is no
exception. Whether the source of the problem is corrupt data, a
particularly brutal piece of malware, or some other serious issue,
you'll occasionally have to reinstall your copy of Windows.
Wiping your hard drive and performing a fresh installation can be a
huge headache; but fortunately there's a way to repair a corrupt Windows
7 installation while keeping all your programs, personal data, and user
accounts intact. With Windows 7 you can perform an in-place upgrade
installation to repair a flaky existing install. Though technically
designed to upgrade older Windows operating systems like Vista, the
in-place upgrade installation option can also be used to repair an
existing installation of Windows 7.
