hello, i have a realy really old laptop from like 2008 and its running pretty slow and hot. Im going to pop the back off and clean out the inside, add some thermal paste to hopefully take care of the heat. I have alot of documents and pictures that i want to keep but i have vista which i do not want. how would i go about backing up all my hard drive data, then cleaning the hard drive to factory, and reinstalling new os with the backed up information. can a old laptop even boot without an OS. Im just wondering possible complications with this old laptop
