Please remember that some operating systems are old and in the case of Windows® XP, an OEM disk set from Gateway® will be up-to 25 years old! Even a relatively new operating system like Windows® 7 was released 12 years ago! A normal system resource and drivers would be so old they would be relatively useless. The actual age of an original OEM disk will depend on the manufacturing date of your computer, but in most cases it will be between 2 and 5 years out of date. As many updates and releases take place in those time periods the original OEM disks will contain a very old edition of the operating system and out of date drivers.
A list of operating system release dates is shown below.
We will supply you with a genuine operating system Recovery Disk, and driver Recovery Disk, along with a system that will scan and update your drivers live. This ensures you have the most up-to-date operating system and drivers available. To use our service a valid product key (found on the ZX6980 COA ) is required. If you have the Windows® 10 8.1 or Windows® 8 operating system and your machine was originally installed by Gateway® and you do not see a COA then your product key should be embedded in the ZX6980 BIOS. In this case the Windows® recovery disk will retrieve your serial number from the ZX6980 BIOS and automatically activate it with the Microsoft® servers as soon as your system goes on-line. See our Windows® 10 8.1 & 8 FAQ on how to retrieve a Windows® 10 8.1 or 8 product key from the ZX6980 BIOS.
