Hi Rajat Sir, The OS along with several other utilities was pre-installed, the engineer that came did nothing except verifying that each and everything was in order. The OS is XP home edition but you could upgrade anything before finalising your order, I chose to have this system with the default option as it would amount to bare some extra cost. I've also been given the original CD of the OS if I want to repair or do the fresh installation of windows. My product key is also printed at the back side of my Laptop itself. I would also like to point out that in case my windows gets corrupt and it is not even repairable, I can do it the fresh installation without having to use the original CD that I've been given. Yesterday, in my very first mail, I pointed out about some Dell restore system which is there in the hidden partition of the disk. Now, in case of any eventuality, I can press control F11 immediately when the dell logo appears before the OS starts booting, and my system would be restored to the factory stage. The biggest disadvantage of this utility is that it wipes out the data of both your hard drives. So one may like to go for this utility if he has the full backup of his data.
