    I have a copy of Windows MCE. I am planning to get a laptop without OS and install the MCE. Can it be done easily or should I get the laptop with OS. Thanks.

    It's no different from installing an OS on a desktop. Make sure you have all of the required laptop drivers, since you'll need them to get your system working correctly after the OS install.

    Install the operating system, then install your drivers. Your computer manufacturer will have the drivers you need, and will have the correct order of installation. For specific help, you need to provide your computer make and model. Check to see if there is a board on this forum for your manufacturer, then ask for specific help on that board.
