    Thanks so much for the video. I asked my son (a computer programmer) how to reformat my laptop and he told me to take it to Staples and pay them to do it. I didn't think it could be that hard and you have proven me right. Can't wait to tell him.

      Kids these days ain’t worth a fuck
      We’re doomed
      And I blame fathers just like you for it! If My kid woulda answered me like thAt, ida stuck a boot right up his ass.. but he wouldn’t answer me like that you know why? Cause I would’ve already taught him respect by the time he was 3-4 years old!! I certainly wouldn’t have waited til he was a computer programmer, then said it, then accepted it, then went online to find out how, then do it yourself- and with glee advertise that you are going back to your own child just to brag “I told you so! I told you so!”
      Wow bro- cmon!
      Man the fuck up ya sissy! Bet you do your wife’s boyfriends laundry too, huh? Like a proper lil cuck/
      I would forever sleep myself if I was such a Byotch like you-
      Don’t you have any self esteem? Any backbone? Any balls at all? Plus you raised a lil asshole that we gotta deal with now cause you were pulled up by your kid! We’ll send his smart mouth ass my way- I’ll treat him like you didn’t!
      Send your wife too!!

      Reinstall Windows 10 using SupportAssist OS Recovery or Windows 10 installation disk
      If you don't use Dell PC I reccomend you to format the drive using Windows 10 installation disk
