I recently purchased windows 7 64 bit PROF for a very good price online, I thought this was the retail copy that you can just pop in and upgrade your current setup with. But it wasn't, it was an OEM Dell copy and it won't let me use this re-installation disc at all, probably because of just that reason.. its a re installation disc...
So my question to you is, 1 since I have the activation key, can I just download it from the internet and use the activation key to make it work?
number 2 is since this is a re-installation disc and it says DELL on it.. will I be able to use this in the future if my system gets corrupted and fix it with this disc?
I went to microsoft and talked to a live person, they just gave me this link http://tinyurl.com/win7hpx86iso and said if i put in my code there it would work. Is that link safe? I'm just very confused, as long as I get my full copy of windows 7 and i can fix corrupt files using this disc in the future to fresh install then i dont care.
