    I heard it was really difficult... can someone pretty please sticky the basic steps on reformatting the lappy and removing all the bloatware and installing all the drivers??

    or will it be easier to delete all the bloatware and clean the reg files?

    I opened a thread like yours but no one answers. Well, install everything back is easy, you just need to download all the drivers from Sony.com or vaio.com.

    But The only thing i dont' know how is to recover the FN button and the status bar when you change settings with Fn button.
