 *** BUT ***

When I tried to install Windows 10 from a USB drive - also a DVD -
***even though both DVD drive & USBs work ok ***, installation 
failed. Even though the hard drive tested ok. It's as if the "basic default drivers" 
in the Windows install pack are somehow incompatible with this laptop, even though
it runs Windows 7 fine, There may be another explanation. Linux Mint O/S was installed 
*** in this laptop ***, from its DVD onto a second 500Gb hard drive [not included], you 
can buy this as an additional Ebay purchase as a back-up. See our advert. Though slower 
to load at laptop start up, web-browsing in Chrome was faster in Linux Mint.. See pics for the 
additional hard drive which is not included in the basic price. Last  4 pics show this running 
Linux Mint

Note that the item you're looking at includes "Samsung Recovery Solution" factory reset option 
within Windows 7, See pic 4.

Returnable for full refund if significantly not as described. The ability to re-install or load another
Windows version is NOT GUARANTEED. If you're unable to do this, we cannot accept this as a
reason to return or not as described.
