Thanks I did see that before I was just hoping that there was a way to check without having to flash first. I guess I'll just flash tomorrow and see what I get.
Did you purchase a brand new PC from an Royalty OEM vendor recently? (ex: HP, Sony, Lenovo) If not, it is very unlikely that you have a BIOS in your PC that supports SLIC 2.1 and will have to either mod or use a loader.
If it is still being sold in the market and it carries a free upgrade-to-win7 option, it should have a updated bios with slic 2.1 for sure!!!
They weren't giving out the free upgrades at the end of last year when he purchased his PC (over 10 months ago)...the new ones they are still selling will have an updated BIOS to make them SLIC 2.1 compliant if they are coming pre-loaded with Win7. As I said, you can install Everest and see, but I don't think you will be that lucky. EDIT: The upgrade copies are more than likely retail copies with retail keys (which require online activation), so just because a PC comes with a free Win7 upgrade does not automatically mean that it has a SLIC 2.1 enabled BIOS...
Well right now all the HDX 18t systems show the same bios at HP.com (F.31 A). So if the new systems have slic 2.1 then mine would too. I'll try flashing when I get some time tomorrow night and i'll let you guys know if it works or not.
