Hi. I just bought a used HP desktop that has a Windows 7 home premium sticker. I would like to do a fresh installation of Windows 7 home premuim (without all of the bloatware). 1) Where can I get the media (I only have windows 7 ultimate)? 2) Should I just use the COA sticker for the installation, or is there a better way? Thanks!
Thanks for your reply! I have a few more questions if you don't mind. 1) I downloaded the "Windows 7 DVD containing all editions" you referenced. Do I have to unlock the other editions via the ei.cfg file that I read about before creating the DVD or does the version I downloaded give me the version options when I boot from it? 2) When I install windows 7 home premium on a new drive is there an installation key I should recover from the old drive or should I just use the COA number on the sticker?
Amires, downloaded windows 7 from the above link and it seems to only install win 7 ultimate, I want to install windows 7 home premium. Also I really want to have the "original" licensed version that comes with the computer (HP)- I don't want to use a loader. Can you help?
