>>Hi everybody,

>>So, the question is - do I continue with that laptop from another user and adjust for me or install everything from scratch on my original laptop with the new disk?

That's what I probably do. Also, I only install VS 2013 and SQL Server 2012, Office 2013 and few stuff our company uses.

Although his laptop is much cleaner than mine :)

I should also probably compare the memory, version, etc.

They are both DELL.
