Thanks for your feedback guys, really appreciate it. He's going for Anytime upgrade. Just a question for greg, let's say I'm the owner of the laptop in concern, if I do a clean install on it with a Windows 7 Home Premium then what will happen to the RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTINGS option? Will it remain when I access it through the recovery options just prior to booting?
I'm thinking that if i did a clean install then I would also do a reformat to the drive where I want to install the OS (eg. drive C) is that achievable?
the existing drives right now are:
100MB system reserve
drive C - System Drive (200+ GB)
drive D - Recovery (almost 20GB)
drive E - Personal Drive (more than 100GB)
I'm somewhat confused with this part in the clean install process, please shed some light guys:
what is this 100MB system reserve?
is it neccessary to delete all partitions?
is this 100MB system reserve really necessary?
does this 100MB partition contain the files needed for me to access the recovery for the RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTINGS backup?
