Just started lurking here, will be doing some big intro post on some idea for win10, preparing that. In the mean time here's what I came across when I was fixing my friend PC to reformat and reinstall windows, i hooked up his HDD to my PC, the one under Disk 2 is the one from the OEM PC ... So i made a pic at the time and only found it again after so many years heh - In the attachment (it's bigger than 1080p)
They must have a real bunch of wizards working at HP. A couple of years ago my brother tried to order factory recovery media for his HP Mini 210 and was told it comes in the form of two optical disks, one CD plus one DVD. The problem: His HP Mini doesn't have an optical drive. The solution: I installed Linux Mint for him and it works far better than Windows 7 Starter ever did.
