  • Well it's the fathers laptop and other than a few photos that I will save to a newly created dropbox account he only uses it for surfing the net.

    It's a Sony Vaio and my research shows that it's just a hit of the F10 key to reboot from internal memory. Windows is an OEM version so reg key is on the laptop. Am I being toO naive?
