    You should be able to upgrade your warranty when you transfer ownership of the laptop (Dell has a form for that which you'll need to fill out).

    From what I have read on the forums, the only time you can get the complete care is at the time of purchase. You might want to call Dell to confirm this. I know you can upgrade the warranty, but i'm not sure about the accident protection. I might be wrong.

    I thought I remember reading somewhere on the forum that people added complete care after they purchased their laptop.

    it has to be within 21 days in the USA, and at time of purchase in the UK.

    I added complete care a couple of months after I got my 1420. It cost $119 for three years. I`m not sure if not being the original buyer would exclude you from this add on. Hope this helps
