Windows reinstallation 'boot' media. If you need to reinstall Windows from scratch, or do some serious repair work then you need the installation DVD.

Some tips and links from Ewen McNulty, IT Solution Specialist, www.hunterintegratedit.com.au
My recommend YouTube “channels” or “content creators” as they call themselves are listed below these are IT/ Computer related
General computer stuff, in particular hardware related things is Carey Holzman – He’s an IT guy like myself who looks after business and home users. He has a little quick tips section on his YouTube page where he covers common questions that people ask. You can find his channel here www.youtube.com/user/CareyHolzman
This guy has a channel called TechGumbo at www.youtube.com/c/TechGumbo He covers some of the most basic things to advanced things with computers and technology. The link I have here is for the “Windows 10 Beginners guide” www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d9FY3LpR4E He also has an extensive playlist at www.youtube.com/c/TechGumbo/playlists
More advanced IT channels to check out are below, be warned though these are quite “techy” and you need a novice to advanced level of understanding for SOME things, not all. These guys are more of enthusiasts, but they do offer some super interesting things.
Linus has Linus Tech Tips at www.youtube.com/user/LinusTechTips He also has another channel called “techquickie” where he explains in under 7min what certain things mean, or what they are. These are fantastic videos because you can get the gist really quickly. For example he has a video on “whats the difference between i3, i5, and i7 CPUS?” www.youtube.com/user/Techquickie
Next is Jay from his YouTube channel – JayzTwoCents. This guys talk really technical stuff about the latest hardware and puts them to the test. He’s more of a tech enthusiast and not a professional IT guy (although he was before he became a YouTube creator so he does have experience in IT). www.youtube.com/user/Jayztwocents
