SOLVED OEM Activation

[cluelessjoejackson]

Help.

After much trial and error I humbly come to you for help with bunches of torn out hair.


***


Made a bootable DVD from Windows 7 Home Premium OEM disk image downloaded from Digital River.

Q1: Can I Activate it with the Windows 7 Home Premium Product Key that came with my HP P7-1235 computer.

Q2: Can I then use my purchased Windows 7 Professional Anytime Upgrade Code to upgrade it to 7 Professional.

Any help greatly appreciated.


Happy Holidays to everyone.

Thank You.

yes if you are reinstalling on that same HP P7-1235
&
yes as long as the upgrade is not in use on another computer

Thank You TrainableMan

Everything worked out

Reason for using OEM is to get 7 Professional to a smaller size

It takes up about 65 Gigabytes right now

Thank You
