Installing it is easy but getting all the drivers is a pain. I don't 
suggest putting the button there in easy to access places. The laptop 
that I have uses the F12 key to put it back to factory condition during 
POST. I had to use it after buying a demo which was password protected 
and who knows what else was on it other than a changed password. It 
served the purpose of starting out clean, very easily.
