Dude!! Resolution is just no. of pixels within an area... How can it make texts smaller?? It is just like gaming in varied resolutions... If you increase resolution 3d objects (in case of games) become sharper.. Texts becoming smaller makes no sense...
).. .. other than above 4 partition option .. i think at-least one partition is must like 40gb for os purpose and other 855gb partition for all common data - media, gamez, backcup ... etc !!Hi! Guys received my 15r turbo today morning..
its gr8...
guyz there is only single os partition on lappy so finally should i do it thru disk management or easeus...
if thru disk management .. steps are like whatever amount of space i need.. that has to be inserted in shrink volume n once unallocated partition is available.. format it..!!
does easesu handle this more properly??
and i have planned like this..
OS - 40 GB [As I don't plan install any gamez on this drive.. will do it on other partition.. this partition will mainly have os [restore-it backup done if any virus attacks], basic email attachments and other downloaded file may get saved to this or other volume n other necessary softs on this parition... so i guess 40gb is enough or even may be less ..what say??
2nd parition - 300 GB [media]
3rd Parition - 300 GB [gamez]
4th parition - 255 GB [installation setups - gamez, softs etc..]
need ur views .. plz do reply..
and windows 8 x64 915440 iso download in progress.. have u guys noticed system getting faster after clean install as at present i feel system run bit slow due to this pre-installed things... and my product key is the one displayed in properties under product id - above: windows activated text ?? .. whn i click view activation details.. it shows product key like ***-****-***XXXX .. only last XXXX part has text n its different from product id .. this is different thing na? bcoz like old lappies there is no sticker of key on my lappy and even they have stick windows 8 sticker on rear side of laptop not where graphic card and core i7 stickers are there... idiots!! so all it need is that product id once i again install windows 8 ... all other drivers are to be downloaded from dell website as cd might have old drivers?
hope to get reply soon as once all is setup, then i can really enjoy my gadget...

when i shrink n format, it creates logical drive or primary drive..? does that make any difference to me as i won't prefer having more than 4 partitions ..

Have you checked inside the battery compartment???congrats bro, finally your wait is over..
for partitioning, i would either recommend easeus or a much better solution, clean install of windows, formatting and creating partitions while installing windows..
and dude, 40GB is too low, atleast give it a 100GB for C:, after installing just win8 and drivers, my C: was already 30GB full, and now after installing all softs (no games and other stuff, just softs), it's eating ~60GB, so give it atleast 100GB, as you also need 10GB of min. free space everytime in C: for windows to function smoothly..
And logical and primary drives:
Primary: Cannot exceed four, if you want to dual boot or install multiple OS's on different drives, then to install an OS on a drive, it has to be a primary partition..
Logical: Can be as many (extended) as you want..
After installing windows8, you would definitely notice more fluidity and responsiveness from your system, don't worry about that..
Product key and product id are two different things, so don't worry about that, you'll need product key (not id) while installing windows and you are'nt having product key on lappy??
And that's a very good thing that you got the GPU logo with corei7 logo, old users like me were'nt that lucky to get a Radeon sticker..
I think you would have got the windows 8 driver disc, in that case there is no use of downloading drivers from Dell website as for now, as Dell has'nt launched any updates for any of the Win8 drivers since their launch, but it's better to download and keep them as backup..
let him check m8, as i have my product key under the battery compartment only..
yes it's correct, but don't slide that way, you have to lift it up (not slide) from the rear side, you should see a slit in the rear side to make it lift up (the side where the arrow head in your pic goes)...

well, i think dell don't provide win8 keys with lappies, check this thread..
KMS method will work, i am using it and can verify that..
try for the key again and try to enter as many email id's as you can, atleast one will get the key, i entered 7 of my email id's and two of them never got any keys..

also if i use kms n upgrade method.. n at later stage if it doesn't activate then will i be able to restore from dell restore on hdd via bios? or i'll be no where man.. no windows 8 oem or even kms one.. just fkd up ...
also how much time it would take if i use easeus to shrink 855 gb c drive to say 150gb n unallocated parition that is created say 705 GB .. n than format it.. will be too long time? thr was user saying he had to wait 6 hours to complete process like dis on 1tb hdd but i guess he had some huge data n he way trying to merge a partition with 30gb on right side of partition n 1gb on left side of partition into one partition..
btw, don't mind i copied ur signature as we share same lappy n almost same earphones n hdd. so edited things n changed signature... hope its ok..
