HI Guys I have a bunch of questions sorry if it quite n00b questions. I recently got a M17x r4 and it didnt came with Windows 8 DVD and there is no windows serial number or COA in the bottom of the laptop or under battery cover.....is it normal now?

1. The Unit i have shipped with 256 gb lite on ssd only with the OS installed in it. Now i want to sell it off and replace that and put probably 2x 1tb 7200 rpm drives or 2 x 750 gb 7200 rpm for now and use one of those as boot drives and later add a 128gb msata ssd and use it as a OS boot drive later.

So how do i do it any suggestions. How can i clone and migrate my windows 8 in the current 256 gb ssd to my hdds? Any guides for that...i heard alienware respawn and acronis image restroring software but another question is when i do that (restoring image to my completely new hdds and remove the 256 gb ssd completely) will windows 8 ask for a serial number or cd key? Any ideas and suggestions will be helpful....

if u get it done from outside, they are going to cost you easily 300 to 400RM, maybe even more. Yes it's that expensive + not worth it. If I was you, I'd do it myself smile.gif
I will learn a bit or two from it as well (y). It's not that hard. You just need to have patience + time + a non dusty place (y)

grats on ur 780s. Mine telling me how much 1 of it costed you? smile.gif thanks!

well bro i had a m17x r3 and m17x r4 before that ... and i changed gpu in r3...it was really easy... for dell gpu swap...but for m18x its so complex and scary sad.gif
