Is this allowed?
My desk top was running on win 7 , I upgraded to win 10. A friend gave me an old but quality laptop running on xp. It is VERY slow and I think a reinstall would help. It is on xp. I have a disk but goodness knows where it is. I still have my shop bought win 7 disk. Is it legal to place the win 7 os onto the laptop?

Beware "District Court" email
Just emptied an email from my Outlook account, which supposedly was sent from District Court (a US expression), titled - "Notice to appear". If anyone gets an email like this then delete it straight away, because a Google search will show that it probably contains a virus. Stay safe online folks.:)

I think the tier 1 is handled from India, usually Indian names (nice they don't pretend to be 'Oswald' or 'Kenilworth' or some of the other faux-English names).
