Introduction
'''''Note: The best time to do this is when the system is new. Older systems may have a visible contrast whenwhere the stickers are removed.'''''
On many PCs, the OEM puts branding stickers on, which are prone to wear on laptops. Removing these from a laptop will keep the palmrest clean or clean up an old system with worn out stickers.
=== Guide notes ===
* '''''IMPORTANT: The battery must be removed if it is easily accessible and in the line of fire where heat will be applied. These can explode if they get hot.'''''
** Follow the guide specific guide forto your laptop to do this. '''''Instructions are not included in this guide, as all laptops are different.'''''
* '''''Be careful how much heat you use. Plastic parts can be melted if they get too hot.''''' These will need to be replaced if this happens.
** '''''To avoid damaging the plastics, only use enough heat to make removal easy.'''''
* '''''Goof Off WILL DAMAGE MOST PLASTICS. Use Goo Gone, as it is far safer and doesn't damage most surfaces.'''''
** '''''If you are in uncomfortable using solvents, a piece of tape can also be used.'''''

* In most cases, you will find the Windows XP/Intel/pre-2011 AMD stickers leave a residue behind, especially on old stickers. This is largely unavoidable (but is easily cleaned).
** '''''While this is less common with Windows Vista/7/post-2011 AMD stickers as the adhesive typically comes off clean, it can still happen.'''''
* This procedure can be used to remove most stickers; not just Intel/AMD/nVidia/Windows stickers.
** '''''While some stickers can be harder than others (often due to age or the type of glue used), the procedure will be the same regardless of difficulty.'''''
