So I take my 'puter to get a new motherboard. The place says okay we fixed it! Got it home, it fired up once. Took it back and four months later they said "we'll find one just like it and sell it to you". I said fine, unwillingly, but told them I wanted the OS from my hard disk on the new one. I expected them to clone my hard disk to the new one. What do they do? Put a pro version of the OS I had on the hard disk with that hacker proggy kmsauto. Piss me completely off. I have zero spare dollars to buy an OS much less a new computer. What would be the best way for me to get my old legal version of the OS onto a new hard disk so I can stop using an illegal copy? I'm okay with cracked software and stuff- just not the OS and not when I didn't ask for it. Know what I'm sayin'?
thanks, I'm honestly afraid to let them do anything else. I've replaced the wifi card, screen and keyboard myself- not always easy on a laptop. I'll look into cloning it myself- makes more sense!

I would explain to them what they did vs what you wanted them to do. Ask if they can just clone what you needed instead of give you hacked software without your informed consent. You should probably use the phrase informed consent too so they get a lawyer vibe and do what you want.
Other than that you could just do the clone yourself. Can't be that difficult.
