    I wanna clean install windows 10 tech preview n repartition SSD and i dont need the razer recovery partitions n such... but i like the razer boot logo that shows up when u power up the machine as opposed to the default boring windows boot logo... so what files/registry entries do i need to backup from original razer windows installation folder and replace after clean install inorder to retain this razer boot logo?

    Currently i'm runnning windows 10 tech preview that i'd updated (as opposed to clean install) with the razer logo, but the OS still retains bugs from the original razer windows 8 installation.
    so i just wanna fresh install windows without the razer mods except the boot logo which is awesome.

    thanks so much fellow bladerunnerz

    UPDATE:

    I couldnt wait.. so i backed up the entire windows installation folder onto external media and wiped all partitions except for the last recovery 11 gig partition (thought i'd keep it just incase i ever need it) and installed a clean windows 10 tech preview.... and it turns out, the razer bootlogo is kinda hardwired into the laptop's firmware or so it doesnt get replaced by the windows default logo during the installation at all.... despite removing all system/recoveryboot/msr paritions... we still have the razer boot branding...

    so for anyone else who kept delaying a clean install of windows to take care of those nagging razer windows problems like WIFI dead on wake from sleep, or screen unresponsive upon wake, etc... dont sweat it... your blade only gets better with fresh install... (fyi: u cant press f9 for recovery anymore though... lol)

    Hi Quick question -- with the latest version of Windows 10 TP - does optimum work properly for Dx9 and Dx11 games?
