Bobby,
You were too quick with the F12 boot thing ;-)
Everything looks good, with the exception of Office. You'll lose it with the clean install, and if you haven't got install media and keys then it's forget it/buy a new version/install the free LibreOffice (which is a pretty good alternative).
(the Office keys might be on the report from the software Mark recommended? If they are we'll come back to it, but you'll need to know exactly which version of Office - worth looking on the laptop now, as you're going to lose it shortly)
You'll lose the others, but I don't think they're critical.
Are the installation files from the Microsoft site, or from creating a recovery disk? (you mentioned the latter). Please be clear on the answer.
The deletion working is also good news.
That's all simplified things. I'll tweak the install instructions.
