Windows 7 install over another 7 install

[stevenlikesfishing]

I accidently bought windows 7 pro and didnt notice it was the upgrade disc. so i installed it to use the free trial until my windows 7 home premuim came. how can i install home p over pro?

better for backup your data and install a fresh copy

 

[stevenlikesfishing]

so when i pop in the disc do i just format the disc?

I would actually recommend returning it and exchanging it for the full version, at least that way you're dealing with the version you wanted and not a trial copy.
