    Working fine here. Noticed that you have dropped the Readme file.

    Yea the instructions are so simple even a caveman could do it. No need for printable copies especially since there's second instructions when you click install

    @plauzi

    Here are the current IR4 Facts as listed on first page:

    No system files get modified
    No extra processes are run so no change in performance or functionality

    Anything else we can do other than "within windows itself".

    Thanks for the information. IR4 runs pretty smooth now. Very simple to use. I believe it's sticky material now

    @MasterDisaster,

    Thanks for your continuing support for IR4 and now it's v2.8.

    @timesurfer.

    Is IR4 v2.8 behind the scene similar to IR4 v2.3 behind scene as follows:

    IR4 2.3 - Behind the scenes

    1. When you click install your 30 day rearm task gets imported
    2. Then the reset.bat file gets put in C:\ then IR4 restarts for you after you click the yes button
    3. The reset.bat files eventually gets deleted around restart and you will see a installkey.bat file will be in C:\ until your default key gets installed then installkey.bat dissapears
    4. You'll also notice the non-genuine watermark disappears in about a minute.
    5. As soon as you click the OK in the message box the installkey.bat file also disappears
    6. Then simply put every 30 days you receive a message to restart your pc and upon restart you'll have another 30 days trial and so on...
    7. At the very end of the 150 days trial at 0 rearms 0 days MS will give you "friendly" message.
    8. Then you just click install and follow instructions all over again...lol

    I found an old HDD belonging to my Old Dell laptop that I would like to test your IR4. It has a copy of Windows 7 activated by Daz loader v1.8.4. I can uninstall and test your IR4 v2.8 because I know Daz loader works great on all my computers. In testing youe IR4 v2.8, I would intentionally let it pass 150 days and see what happened. Then run your IR4 v2.8. By that time, you and MD may have a newer fully automated software then.

    Yes it is similar. At day 150 it will just give you message to activate which you will click install, etc...

    You forgot to change this part again:

    IR4 Facts

    * Latest Release - IR4 2.7

    I second that.

    Testing version 2.8 right now.

    Edit: Works flawlessly. Great work everyone.

    Anytime buddy... lol.

    I don't know what the rules are for stickies on this forum but yeah... In my opinion IR4 meets the standards to be up there (just my opinion):

    1. It's a fully working solution.
    2. It's out of "beta" (it does what it's designed to do without any problems).
    3. It's supported by the developer (and others).

    Completed the automated version of IR4. Just need to check if there is a better way of doing it.

    Edit:
    There is a better way to find the Recovery unique ID.

    Fully automated version... nice. When can the rest of us expect the "public beta"?

    Well we tried the totally automatic and it worked fine but is very slow so it's not realistic but it can be done. So I might make one small change to GUI or not then we just support from here unless someone can do this inside windows...lol Then that would be completely different program from IR4 so I think we're kinda done
