    Hey everyone!

    In only 6 days I will be united with my M15x! Is it possible that when I am united I can do a fresh install of windows 7 and not lose the lighting on the system? Is it necessary to do a fresh install?

    You'll have to reinstall the Command Centre to get your lighting back.

    Install command center last, and then OSD after that.
