It's just that neither the sticker Key, or the Belarc reported Key, would allow the ISO to be downloaded - as though both were bogus keys.
I had a sudden yen to have an SSD drive on what is a powerful laptop since it does seem rather slow to boot. I get these desires, but it would probably just have been better to use the darn thing until it becomes obsolete.
Obsolescence will probably come about because of the sheer mass of the thing. Nice keyboard though, and it takes a lot to pry me away from my Ligitech OEM's - despite the letters being worn away.
The otherwise nice earlier Vaio* had a bendy keyboard which I can't stand.
N.B. Most of my hard work is editing and I find I need a large screen for that. Odd. Spot far more mistakes than on the little laptop screens.
*my son saw it being stolen in Best Buy in Texas. He let the manager know, and son passed the $50 store thank you credit to me to add to the already good price cos it was a Vista. Heck of a deal. I loaded W7 on it and it really flew. W10 seemed quite nice at first and that's why I let it seep into my PC, but not so sure now.
