not any more.
shit 3 laptops in our house not one has CD/DVD so would not be usefull.
 
should have a Certificate sticker on it and a copy of the installer on the drive.
 
 


Windows 10 is different, it doesn't have a sticker as all the licencing is done via digital fingerprints of hardware, so you don't even have to enter a licence key it just checks your machine vs a database and says yes/no.

I just said CD as it was easiest but I meant hard copy.. For reinstall etc. I upgraded to Windows 10 via windows so I guess that means my copy was legit... Having it on the drive doesn't really help when you're laptop is a paperweight though...

You can download a tool to create the install media for you from Microsoft. It would not have all the drivers etc for the laptop on it though. You will need to download and install those from the manufacturer website.

Boss is dead set on using win7 instead of 10 because of supposed issues with some software we use (I'm sure most of its been sorted with updates, but whatever). Dell is supposed to have win7 installed on it, but if it doesn't then I'm going to have to "acquire" a copy.

you can upgrade to 10 for free then just tell boss it shipped with windows 10 

Careful with installing Win7 on modern hardware as MS have pushed hard to get the big manufacturers to stop providing Windows 7 compatible drivers for brand new hardware, if the box comes with Windows 10 you might be better off trying to enable compatibility mode for the app you are worried about.

    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
    • Change the subframe bushes, transforms the car.
    • For something a little more serious, Davinci Resolve is about the best there is for free video editors. No expiration dates or watermarks, completely free.
    • Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!
