    I am considering buying a secondhand notebook, Vaio VGN-TZ72b. It's gorgeous! :rolleyes: All I would get are the notebook and its adapter. The guy bought it from Japan. These are all he has with him now.

    BUT, I wonder if I would have a problem with drivers in the future when I clean-install it. :confused:

    I heard every Vaio has a sort of recovery system that frees you from all concern about drivers. Is that true? :confused:

    Please help ;)

    It may still have the recovery partition, and if it has, you can recover the original factory install and then use vaio update and windows update to install all the updates .

    Is it true that every Vaio has the recovery system?
