100% correct. Moreover, the pre cracked/or pre activated may or may not activated in the right way. Sometime it might not able to receive windows 10 or some other important things. So make sure everything is right before installing pre cracked.

Owh thats quite informative( gonna get a relatively bigger volume pendrive then)
but from the review on Z5 how come they provide drivers inside CD?
My win 7 not retail ver lol its OEM Since microsoft dint say anything apart from (Just letting win 7 having upgrade) despite they dint state its must be retail or OEM

i do have win 7 original license key but where can i download the iso?

Illegear provide drivers in cd so that you can use it on your external dvd rom or you can copy all driver files from cd on a different computer to your penddrive to install on z5.

Shouldn't they provide the drivers over their site?
Availability for downloads and updates

how to updates those (Customized) drivers like marcrokeys
fan speed etc

You can find all versions of windows 7 iso at here http://www.howtogeek.com/186775/how-to-dow...-media-legally/

Or go to here and download this since you have the original product key so you can download the official Os as iso or flashdrive format directly from Microsoft
here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows...roduct-key-only

Can you elaborate that what you mean by (Shouldn't they provide the drivers over their site?)

thank bro.
but after i key in the product key it show this msg
(Unsupported Product

The product key you entered appears to be for software that was pre-installed on a device. Please contact the device manufacturer for software recovery options.)
may i know how to solve this?

I mean that by ordinary laptop manufacturer they usually provide a link for further updates for drivers

Ya Illegear will also provide the downloading url if you request them. But the disk you can set as your backup for drivers also.

May be your license key is not supported in it. Try searching some product key. Product key (also known as CD-Key) usually u will use it before installing an Os for security purpose. So it is the same right now. So try search some product key on internet. So far found some have a try on these keys:

XKY4K-2NRWR-8F6P2-448RF-CRYQH

NG4HW-VH26C-733KW-K6F98-J8CK4 <-- (For windows 8)

N6KXJ-P6YWY-4C92Q-J7BVB-R6XGM <--working fine on my computer (for windows 8.1) use this to pass the security check and download iso or flash drive format.

XHQ8M-C3MCJ-RQXB6-WCHYG-C9WKB

Have a try on them above good luck

yea i understand your concerns here about the malware.
but then everytime choosing which torrent to dw, please go through the comments of the torrent.
try find those torrent maker instead of uploader, and usually they are reputable.

so far using pre cracked version since 2010, nth happens tho. *touchwood*

oh ya btw ur battery tips really helps me a lot, thanks ya

no offense to all here..

but in my opinion la, those pre cracked definitely kenot/hard to be upgraded win 10 in future, but if win 10 comes out and Wong Ah Kau wanna try it out, it would always be a better choice to do a clean install by then.
contoh: Ah Kau want to install win 10 on his pre cracked win 7, but the process is super complicated or a lot of bugs or impossible to do so. So no choice Ah Kau need to format his drives before install win 10.

So i don't see the point why saying no to precracked windows UNLESS Ah Kau really have serious concerns about hidden malware (which is avoidable if Ah Kau do your research properly)

besides, it's good to do some spring cleaning on your drives and do the neccessary backup before upgrading to the new OS by then.

still goes by this saying: u are responsible of what u do to your computer.

and if dun want hassles, pls buy original OS

got boot from windows, just go to the boot menu inside bios to set it and off u go, installation speed as normal la.. but placebo effect coz new laptop ma

Well most of the people will usually tries to get teh windows activated genuinely and want to to get them officially from microsoft. Microsoft are providing upgrading function where the user can install windows 10 and still remaining all the user data in it. Isn't that cool enough to know why people are looking for it.
Benefits:
1) the user dont have to backup and restore their personal files.
2) Some of the eligible that compatible softwares will be restored, some of that not compatible will be leaved for the user attention.
3) it is easier than a clean installation.

Well this is the same method that microsoft carried when they provide free update for all windows 8 users to windows 8.1 using windows store.

check this link out, it contains much explanation and pictures: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...dows-7-tutorial

P/s correct me if im wrong.

Well, besides DVD for driver, I do agree with you that ILLEGEAR should have the drivers for all their laptop model at their website like what other manufacturer did. It would be much more convenient for users to know or have an idea what to download. Well I guess they didn't have the man power to maintain those thing as it will need to be updated quite frequently. Lets hope it is implemented in the future

For the OS version, why I specifically mentioned RETAIL version is because only RETAIL version can be deactivated and reactivated on a new machine. OEM version is tied to the old machine and CAN'T be deactivated. It has nothing to do with the Win 10 upgrade.

Glad it helped
IMHO, even though you go through the comments, it is still unreliable to use those pre-cracked version. You won't know whether those are legit user who comment or just an "act". Also, you can't for sure that a legit creator doesn't include any malware, spyware or trojan in it. Who know you're sending your info to the creator since 2010 ? Everything is done in the background so you won't realize anything serious happen. Except you go and check all the background services and thread on your system, but I highly doubt normal user will do this. So a lot deem it as a good and reliable pre-cracked OS since it do what it should, without knowing there mind be illegal stuff working in the background.
Well it's all just an example, in the end it's still like what you said, you're responsible for your own action

IMHO, it is better to have a fresh install. You can't be sure it will be a smooth transition from old OS to a new OS. Something may happen.
Also, win 8 to 8.1 doesn't have any major or serious changes. So performing upgrading is a lot easier and won't cause much error. Most of the file will be retained cause the core system is still the same.
While I doubt win 10 will be as smooth as win 8.1 cause I can see there is A LOT of changes. Mostly the OS will create an OLD.Windows file to retain all your document there (like what it did for win7 to win8 upgrade)
I still prefer a clean installation as I'm having a lot of software which may not be compatible in the new OS. It will be a lot of hassle to solve it one by one.

well, just say that everyone has their different risk appetite. But that's the price that need to be paid lor if want cetak rompak
Agreed on that software incompatibility regarding win OS update, had a tough time when doing it from win 7 to win 8 until i frustrated and did a clean install instead last time.

Anyway i think we should stop here. Later admin come and ban us coz macam sided to warez thread ald

Yeah, that is true but I need to save up before i can get an ori because I am in a very tight budget. =.=

In the future, will definitely return to Illegear or some other shops that sell the retail version of windows. For now, collect money and slowly do it.

Thanks for all the insightful information. This is really like University of Lowyat. XD
