    Hi Folks,

    Quick question. I have an Asus 1215n laptop with windows 7 installed but want to reinstall windows without all the crap bundled with it by the manufacturer.

    Can I just get a downloaded (legally) copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and install it from USB, using the license key that came with my laptop? I have already paid for and downloaded (upgrade) it from the microsoft uk store.

    Will there be any issues using my license key on a version downloaded from the store?

    Thanks

    or use www.pcdecrapifier.com

    a clean install of windows 7 means you need to locate all the drivers for your system
