Ok, I'll get my facts straight... on my 6 and a half year old 7200RPM HDD with SATAIII connection I get average 260MB/s WRITE, 320MB/s with SSD, not that big a difference, while read speeds for both are at 480-510MB/s (varies depending on file, cache, etc., boot time on HDD is 12 seconds with only 4GB DDR3 RAM to boot, so yeah:P). Computers don't all work the exact same you know, they vary, one might work great, another may work a lot worse and most importantly, upgrading old ones is almost never not worth it, it's how bottlenecks most often happen. SSDs are always better on paper only, in practice they have many issues, undeleting files is a pain since they don't use magnetic partitions (which leave traces so you can recover lost files MUCH easier), have less longevity (doesn't really matter in this day and age but that also makes them more prone to failures), depending on how good quality it is it might or might not have power safeties (and they never state if they do so getting a cheap one could result in it frying itself should a power surge happen) and so on, not saying they are bad, but they aren't a blanket "better" option. Anyways, this all is irrelevant so let's stick to the thread that's about FORMATTING, not upgrading.

Great thanks


Try downloading one that's already made, then use whatever serial key your Windows has to reactivate it. Had a nice little script that fetches you your Windows key in case you don't have it written somewhere but I can't for the life of me find what folder I put it in so you are on your own there:rofl2:

I was wondering if anyone knew how to create a windows recovery disk I am having major problems not on the creation really but with using it when i try to use it for a factory reset it says that it is the incorrect disk and yet it is the correct disk I have know idea what to do thanks

If you are upgrading to Windows 10, why bother taking the laptop back to factory just boot off the Windows 10 medium and format the drive. If you have the OEM sticker, just input the key when installing Windows 10. It will give you digital entitlement once it's installed.
