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.

      Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy

      Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.

      Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷

      I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.
