How to preserve the stickers of windows xp and mobile centrino on the laptop

Question

As time passess they come off. How should I preserve it? Can I rip them off some how and keep them safe? Are they available in the market

Answer 1

Your main concern should be ruining the surface underneath. If you end up selling the laptop 5 years down the road, I doubt anyone buying a used laptop will care about the stickers. Though if the surface is all scuffed up they might care.

Answer 2

You might also consider painting them over with a clear nail polish. That should help preserve them.

Answer 3

You can buy them on eBay.

Windows XP Stickers

Centrino Stickers

I actually take them off on new laptops, as otherwise the areas underneath them do not wear like the surroundings, so they leave a visible area that is not smooth when they finally disintegrate.

Goo Gone is the best stuff to safely take them off.

Answer 4

One could argue that the stickers should be left in place to keep the laptop as originial as possible, it proves (to some degree, I know you can remove a sticker and put a new one on) what processor and OS came with the PC and such...I like them, but maybe that's just me...

Answer 5

Just put clear tough plastic on the sticker and then put some clear tape on the plastic.
