[QUOTE="Vince53, post: 64575797, member: 251704"] Let me clarify for everyone's benefit. Most Windows laptops today have the operating system installed on a hidden partition on the hard drive. YOU DO NOT GET AN INSTALATION DVD. This makes it impossible to transfer your copy of Windows to another computer. USUALLY, if you upgrade to a different operating system, you destroy this hidden partition. Since changing the operating system on a laptop is usually a bad idea, this will really foul you up. Windows 8 makes it easy to use the hidden partition to restore your system to its factory defaults. On older Windows, it is more difficult. On the other hand, this lowers the cost of the manufacturer, and Yes, the savings are passed on to you. [/QUOTE]
