My wife has a laptop that was given to her with Win7 Pro installed. She has been pretty careless with what she installs and needless to say, she has more than a few issues (trojans, adware ect ect).
I want to just reinstall windows, but I do not have the Pro disc. I have a few Win7 home discs from previous installs on other computers, and was wondering if I could do a clean install with one of those then immediately after install (without entering the key) use anytime upgrade to upgrade her system to the Pro version she has now. Once that is installed I can use her current key (which I recovered with Magic jellybean) to activate it.
I'm not trying to pull a fast one, just trying to figure out a way to do a clean install without the disc
