    Have not even opened the box yet. Debating on whether to keep it or not (the laptop it is to replace, Dell E6400, I spilled coffee on the other day and thought it was fried, but seems to be working ok for now)..

    One thing though that drives me nuts now a days is that no OS or recovery disc's are included. Just wondering what others have done and if there is a way to create a Win7 "fresh install" disc for it? I have a Win7 Professional upgrade that I have used on a previous install, but if I revert that computer back to Vista could I use that do clean install Windows?

    Appreciate any input provided here, first computer without any discs and at a loss on how to get rid of bloatware and install windows clean.
