If you can 'acquire' a Windows 7 OEM disc chances are it will work with your key, and you aren't breaking your licence so long as you use it with the computer you bought. I agree it is frustrating, however. I used to do a regular 'files and folders' backup, and monthly (ish) full computer...

Thanks for your quick replies Can you recommend any brands in particular? I don't mind that much, I just want something that will still be ok in 5-10 years. As I can't pick how high the mirror cabinet should be mounted, I worry it will be too low and look a bit odd, and maybe the taps will...

Hi All, I have recently moved, and have inherited this mixer on the wall: The bath / shower tap is fine, but the temperature has ceased up. I haven't tried very hard to free it, but talking to the others in the block with the same tap suggests they all have the same problem regularly...
