    Sorry if this question has been asked before, I couldn't find it in the search.

    So, I just got my new m17x and it's amazing but... it has W7 Home Premium which is missing some (imo) major features such as the local security policy. I own W7 Ultimate and want to reformat with it, but I don't want to lose the cool alienware things like the login screen! I have backed up the alienware desktop backgrounds from C:\Windows\Web\Alienware. Is there any way to make sure I can restore the login screen?

    Also, are there any other things I need to back up? I can restore alien sense and everything from the cd/web right?
