    Is there any reason to believe formatting/reinstalling Windows on a laptop would be more complicated than on a PC? I've done it on PCs plenty of times and a friend wants me to do her laptop, anything I should be concerned about?
    Thanks.

    It may be more likely that Windows won't come with drivers for laptop components compared to a typical desktop. As long as you make sure you have all the important ones before installing (or at least the NIC ones so you can go online to get the rest) you should be grand.

    Went grand, there was a nifty cd that automatically configured all the drivers for the system. Thank you.
