    Hello all,

    I have another question. My laptop is a Dell xps L502x. It runs win 7 64 home. I have seen Dell win 7 64 pro disc for sale. If I wipe my hd by using a hd drive zeroing cd will it install Dell win 7 64 pro discs normally? I have the original Dell win 7 64 home disc. I have the Dell win 7 64 home disc COA at the bottom of my laptop so do I need another key to install Dell win 7 64 pro disc? I have a Win 7 64 key from a computer that has been downgraded to XP, can I use that key to install Dell win 7 64 pro disc?


    Thanks to all.

    Thanks,

    If I try to use the key that I have got for Win 7 64 pro from a downgraded machine (from win 7 64 pro to Win XP) will that also do the job?

    Have you got it from the sticker attached with the PC?? Then it is OEM:COA which can be used to install as well as activate but it also requires activation via phone. On the other hand, OEM:SLP is completely offline & perfect for you.
