After the last motherboard got replaced by sony proffessionals, i just did clean install of windows ..
after which the model number appeared to be "reserved".. so that means i cannot install any sony provided drivers directly into the system.
please help me with any solution ..
 


Actually it was something inbuilt that i can reinstall windows.. By pressing f12 or f10 .. I don't remember properly..!
 
i have the same issue, i did a clean format of the hard drive (ssd 120gb) to instal a fresh copy of windows 8.1pro

then model appears as reserved
