Brand new laptop - Setting up

Let's hope that he hasn't mullered your Recovery partition in the process.

Did he or you create Recovery Discs before you embarked on this course of action?

I didn't get a COA and paid £50. He works for a repair shop, I was offered a receipt. I will email him and ask him to sort it out.

Its working in poor comparison to my previous laptop which was almost 2 years old... and I had Avast on that.

p.s never p0rn, just LoLcats!

I'd ditch the (probably) pirate version of Windows 7 and restore the laptop back to the Windows 8 factory settings.

It's not probably....

Will check it out with the OP via PM.

Taking it back to the same person doesn't seem like the best idea.

If he's mullered the Restore Partition and in addition didn't bother to create the Toshiba Recovery Discs, then he's just an idiot.

Will send you a PM in a minute to check on what he has done. No personal details involved. Just a licence and Motherboard check.
At least when you speak to him, you'll know for what to ask.
