    Hi all,
    I'm considering using the backup I made when I first got my m14x to return to default settings etc.
    However I purchased Windows Office (Word, Publisher etc) through school after I made the backup. If I use respawn is there a way to not lose this software?

    Thanks,
    crZyhamSter

    When I got my Office copy I received the licence key by email and had to download a setup file. If you save those to an external hdd, memstick or something you can just reinstall it after you've respawned.

    As long as you have the license key you can just re-download Microsoft Office after the restore.
