The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Excellent article, I would add one last step, create an "out of box" system image to an external hard drive or other media. This is handy for troubleshooting and/or preparing the machine for sale. I have seen many posts here where the user was unable to restore to factory specs with the recovery partition on the internal hard drive.
