MacBook Pro is 2 mos old. Installed the free Mtn Lion recently. If I have to do a full restore in the next month or so, wonder if I'll be able to get Mtn Lion again? Pretty sure I have the email with the code.
Thx

Yes if you restore using the method below, you will have Mountain Lion when you restore it.

You have two ways to "restore"...
-- Restart holding command R keys for 45 seconds.
-- If you want to erase, you have to choose "Disk Utility".
-- Then select the HDD at left, select the "Erase" tab, and choose the "Erase" button.
-- When that is done, quit Disk Utility.
Next, and also if you never wanted to erase...
-- Choose "Reinstall OS X".

The result will be OS 10.8.
