Is OEM Recovery a Lost Art Part 2.
I welcome you all for part 2 of this series: If you haven’t read part 1 yet, it’s not recommended but strongly advised but I’ll do a quick TDLR.

In Part 1: We looked at 3 machines through 1st Feb 2007 - January 2015, which were, the HP Compaq 6510b, Lenovo Thinkpad T410, and the HP 15 Notebook PC, or the r127-c100nl. We also set our ground rules, which I’ll list below in the table
Pointer 1:
They need to be some sort of Intel cpu in them, anything i3, i5, i7, C2D is fine, AMD’s weren’t so prevalent in those days as it is now.
Pointer 2:
Adding to the main rule, it has to have been released after 1st February 2007 and no later than 16th December 2025
The first one I’ll pick out is the Acer E575G or whatever it’s called, these shipped with 7200U processors and both a SSD and 1TB HDD to my knowledge, plus a 2GB DGPU. If you know anything else about this, please let me know in my Discord server linked in the homepage.
The second one I’ll pick is the Lenovo Legion 5 or Legion Pro 5, I don’t know all the names of these. It released in (2021) with AMD Ryzen 5, this shipped with probably Windows 10/Windows 11, and gaming powerhouse, if you know anything about this, let me know!
The last one of this series, is the MSI Cyborg 15 A12UCX, which is funnily my main laptop, it shipped with 8GB DDR5 which is let’s just say, fucking expensive, at the time of writing, I’d put 64GB if the memory wasn’t expensive and 2TB SSD. £300 for DDR5 in laptops, i forgot to back up the OEM so if you have it archive it and therefore I can use it!
Now, how do you archive it if you know what I’n talking about,
Firstly, create the RECOVERY MEDIA in the OEM install, which you can image it to usb, and MAKE A BACKUP OF THAT USB, I recommend Reflect 8 by Paragon Software UK. On older PCs, eg Vista era, they required DVDs or DVD-DL.
Secondly: Put it online and on external hard drives. eg internet archive, google drive, OneDrive etc.
Well, I guess this is the end of this series, I really enjoyed writing and researching it all, at points! Plus feel free to share your suggestions in my Discord server!
Till next time!
-MCR!
