    I'm getting a T410 with the 128 MB SSD. How do I do the clean install? There are no longer Windows Anytime Upgrade DVD's for Windows 7. Is there anything I should be doing different when I do a clean install on a SSD?

    Search the forum and you can find Windows 7 ISO (legal).

    The Staples I work at sells Windows 7 anytime upgrade DVDs.

    There is also an option to create system restore disks in the settings. I'll be making mine in just a little bit actually. This way even if you replace the HDD you can just install from them.

    For a clean install, you don't need to buy anything. If you have say Home Basic and want Home Premium, then you need to buy an upgrade disk.
