Reinsalling Windows 7 without Recovery, Backup and CD's
Hey guys! I need help! I recently bought a laptop (Dell Precision M4600) through Offerup. I got the laptop but, no Windows 7 Pro installation disk along with the factory installed drivers disk. They installed Windows 10 and I don't like it. I did the Reset thinking it would reinstall Windows 7 and it completely deleted everything drivers and all (oh I didn't do the back up) it reinstalled Windows 10 and now its running slow, it loads up slow, I can't download from Windows Store, if I do download a program it take forever. Watching videos it freezes and it refreshes on its own or it will kick me off of the internet. I tried the Support Chat but the Warranty is expired! I submitted a Warranty Extension Request a couple days ago, I haven't heard anything yet.
How can I reinstall Windows 7 Pro 32bit and all the drivers and software the laptop came with?

Like Windows 10 or not, support for Windows 7 is ending January 2020.
"reseting" whatever that means won't get you Windows 7 back
How do you know that Windows 7 came originally with it?

If your PC was shipped with Windows 7 pre-installed on it, you can download the Recovery os iso image from here: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/osiso and install Windows 7 on your computer.

Get a Good Quality USB 2 flash drive either 16 or 32 gigs.
Make a Dell Recovery USB stick.

The drivers are in a single cab file that you can extract to the documents folder via 7zip

Windows 7 SP1 DELL OEM DVD's are no longer available.
