How to legitimise Win7 license
Hi,
I have been asked to help a lady who has been defrauded with her system. She originally had a Vista based Acer laptop, which was upgraded by a 'friend' to Windows 7 (for which she was charged). It turns out that the Win7 version is an Enterprise edition and she doesn't have a licence key, any paperwork or software CD!
I would like to help her legitimise the Win7 licence but I am unsure if she should purchase an upgrade version or a full retail product. As this is in the UK the full retail version is very expensive and we would like to use an upgrade version if at all possible. Obviously, we would also like to avoid doing a clean installation if possible, but would appreciate views on which version to purchase. Finally, as the system currently runs the Enterprise version, can we replace this with a Home Premium version without doing a clean installation?
