Hello,I have just purchased windows 7 home premium and installed it, my question is, if I get into trouble and want to reinstall it on my pc, am I going to have a problem as I was told it can only be used once?

Hi drainbamaged - No, as long as you are reinstalling on the same PC you will just fine. Windows 7 comes with one license meaning it can be installed on one computer only, but you can reinstall on the same computer with no problem. If, for some reason you have issue activating your Windows 7 after reinstalling, a quick call to Microsoft will fix it.
