Pretty good price. Also bought SSDs from Newegg as well. This MBP does not come with the OS disk so how can I install windows onto my SSD? Thanks.

if there is no osx disk you will need to buy and download then make a bootable 10.7 disk or USB drive ( or buy a copy from Apple directly on media) install OSX then ideally setup bootcamp and windows

for windows you need an OEM or Retail copy if windows with a product key. however the drivers are on the OSX disk.

to single boot to windows only :
for vista and win 7, xp wont single boot due to EFI firmware

where can I buy for cheap? I heard that Lion OS X doesn't come with disc? But uses the internet to back it up? I just want to migrate everything from the HDD to SSD

I can install windows 7 on this without any problems? All drivers covered?
