    hey,

    ive just received my vaio, so far so good, just wanted to know a few thing

    1) how do i know my screen is a premium one ?
    2) i wanna install a SSD, and i dont think i have any cd. I have windows on a USB key but will i be able to use the sony key as its for WINDOWS OA ? which windows iso shall i download?
    3) when i reinstall it, its gonna all clean without any pre installed software but what about the vaio thing? because i like the way to put your computer "silent". I bought it as i wanted it to be silent ! would i be able to install again this "vaio center" to make the fan go quiet?

    Thanks again

    @bladrak:
    There should be a Sony program installed called Vaio Care, which will allow you to burn recovery DVDs from the recovery partition of the HDD installed, which should keep the Windows Key that was originally used. You can then use those to reinstall on another HDD/SSD that you plug in later.

    Vaio Control Center can be downloaded from the Sony support site, and installed after doing a clean install. Along with any other driver or Sony software that was on the shipped computer.

    As far as the Premium Screen, not a clue, maybe someone else can help?
