Absolutely not !!!!
Especially on an HP unit.
All that needs to be done is for you to "finalize" the installation by opting for a user name & such.
I strongly urge you to take your business elsewhere ... PERIOD !
These guys tried to rip you off once & will do so again. This is unheard of .... "installation of the pre-installed windows" ???
TOTAL NONSENSE.
I am so upset by the nerve of these people ... email me & I will personally make every effort to help you find the same unit elsewhere at a better deal .
regards,
Philip T

What??!! This joker is trying to make himself an extra $100. Pre-installed means just that. I know of no notebook computer sold without an operating system installed (unless we are talking off lease, etc. type of deals).

Lies. If you purchase a system, the OS will be installed already. I suggest going to another store.

No, do it yourself. Sounds like robbery to me.
