Gandalph Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hello danny456, welcome to the ForumIf you have the original install disc I would use that, but judging from what you have asked I am going to assume you have no disc. You have nothing to lose by downloading Windows 7 and trying your serial key to see if it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bludgard Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 If the version of install media (Starter, HP, Pro, Ultimate, Enterprise etc.) matches the COA on the machine then the worst that could happen is a call to Microsoft to activate and/or validate the install.Best just to aquire OEM install media; no hassles....
