@benbradley@hachyderm.io @Endof10@floss.social no, they are long gone. Whenever I upgrade I buy a new disk, these days it's an SSD, pop the existing one out of the machine, and put the blank one in there for the Linux install. The disk the machine came with goes into a drawer until the warranty expires. This means if I have a hardware issue, they can't blame my Linux install. Tbf I've never needed this, and I eventually overwrite that spare Windows drive with a Linux system or data etc.
