again jellybean to the rescue got another laptop for reinstall with the serial number ripped of the bottom! which I think is like that for a reason as it looks like a good idea but still easy to wear the serial number of so then the users who dont know how to get the serial –> yes buy another
shame on microsoft for the licence that they sting you for.
Luckily enough I can get into safe mode in the this virus ridden OS and run jelly bean which shows me the serial number then I can reinstall – its like setting up a lamb for the slaughter!
