Retail disc into OEM disc
My laptop came with windows 7 pre installed. And no windows disc in the pack..
I managed to get hold of a complete retail version of windows 7 x64 that doesn't have a License Key with it.. I chose one without a license key because i dont want to run a illegal cloned computer.
I read somewhere on the internet, that you can change the retail version installation disc into a OEM disc but i cant remember how exactly. I have a .iso of windows 7 and i am able to access the internal files of the .iso I know i had to create a oem folder and insert a certificate from my laptop "OEM.xrm-ms" but im uncertain of the other steps. I know i could have just made a backup, but there's something about wanting a windows 7 oem disc for my laptop, so i can install fresh. And in case the recovery partition goes wrong. I asked dell for one the said no.
can anyone point me in the right direction or explain the step to do this?
