I'm missing something. If you have a key it should have come with a disk or ISO download. If the key is from your previous copy of windows, using it on more than one computer is a violation of the EULA and you will need to purchase another copy of windows.

no i was given a product key from school a while back but all they did was email us the key number so i have no copies of windows install disk. just wondering if you can download and burn one or put one on a flash drive and install from there?

Yes, you can do that.

Like I said, your best bet is to contact Microsoft, tell them the situation, and they should be able to provide you with a iso download link. That way you know you're getting a clean image, too.

hawkeye22- it was usually for a vitural machine but usually what they do is just give them to us and the teacher tells us to either keep the key and use the 30 day trail or use to key and waste it lol. so go figure.. ima search around town im sure someone has a disk laying around -.-
