Hello
I'm contemplating buying a netbook which will likely only have a restore partition and no OS cd, then upgrading to a small ssd. Is there a way to reinstate the OS on the new hard drive? E.g. Is asking the seller to send me an installation cd and buying an external optical drive the only option? Or can I somehow copy the OS partition to a usb and then reinstall from there?
Thank you,
Zenith
