Hi
I bought a used MacBook Pro, 2010 13”
It has a partition with boot camp and windows.

Now if it was just a straight OS X I could do a fresh install and go from there but not sure how to deal with this as it has a partition.

It’s also got a few programs on it like word and PowerPoint which were installed by the previous owner. Will I be able to save those if I do a fresh install or will it be lost once I clear the system?

Looked around for answers but could only manage to find info for initial install of the partition and boot camp. Additionally it says I would need a copy of Windows to install which I don’t have. Can I reinstall windows from what I already have or will that be lost when/if I reload the system?

Thanks for the help
