The package wasn’t at my entrance too, it was just on the sidewalk 😕

Fwiw, this is the only time the UPS driver has left the package in that spot. Normally it’s right next to the front door.

    Lots of OEMs now ship Dolby software and drivers preinstalled but without download packages available so you can’t do a clean install without losing features you paid for. ASUS is guilty of this one as well as having other software tied to the factory install ID. It’s always a good idea to take a factory condition backup or the machine before paving it over with a clean windows install.

        You’re not wrong. Personally I take a backup of the drive in its factory state and then install Linux - I’m over Windows in general.
