My computer was hacked. I had it scrubbed by a local tech company. He removed Microsoft from my computer and put Zorin on. I hate it and want Microsoft back.

    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    Yes, you can absolutely get Windows back. Zorin OS is not permanent, and you can wipe it out completely to restore your computer to exactly how you like it.

    To help me guide you through the easiest and safest way to do this, could you answer a few quick questions for me?

    • Did Windows come pre-installed on this computer when you first bought it? (This helps me confirm your license type)
    • Do you have temporary access to another computer that runs Windows? (e.g., a friend's, neighbor's, or relative's PC. This makes creating the Windows installation USB infinitely easier, as doing it from Linux Zorin can be very tricky)
    • What is the manufacturer and model of your computer? (e.g., Dell Inspiron, HP Pavilion, Lenovo ThinkPad. This tells me which key to press to start the installation)

    Once I have these details, I can map out the exact step-by-step process to get you back to the Microsoft environment.

    Looking forward to your reply.
