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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
