can i run a windows like it was when it was brand new?

it is really a foolish question and i will tell you the reason why your computer is not new so a system restore in system tools can help or delete your history and your cookies but then defragment this is an important step. i asked the same question when i didn't know better but no you cannot make an old computer run like it ran when it was bran new. but you can do the next best thing and keep your computer well maintained if you don't know how read or ask how to keep your computer well maintained you will get an answer and it will make you sooo happy very few errors. good luck hope i was helpful to you

Update:

if you keep your computer well maintained why add a bunch of generic drivers to gum up your computer. i have a friend that is computer repair he saids he would like to meet those that use generic drivers it helps his business. do not use those commercial generic drivers

    Have good antivirus ( I'm using Eset Bussiness Edition). Use Firefox browser and set the option that everytime your close your browser it will clean your history and junk file cookies. That how I use my computer to run like new.

    If your computer infected with virus then restore your computer with a CD ROM. But first delete your hard drive example driver C. and make sure your have your Restore CD that came with your computer and make sure you have all your CD software to set up like webcam and printer. It's okay if you don't have them. You can't get those software for your device by install the Everest software it will tell your the name of your device. Then look up those device name driver and install them if you have a internet. Good Luck.
