    Hi all, I've just received my ux32vd and was wondering if i can get some help doing a clean install.

    Before i put in the ssd, what steps should i take before removing the bottom cover, battery, etc.

    should i do a clean install of windows 7 or just do a recovery on the ssd?
    if i do a clean install, how would i get basic functions to work on my laptop (such as fn + f10 for mute)?

    thanks for your help!

    If you're not comfortable getting all the drivers sorted, just do a restore of the existing system. I don't think there's too much bloatware on the machine, so it works well.
