Have windows 7 ult, but have win 7 prem CD, want to wipe/reinst Win7
I bought an Alienware m17x on ebay about 6 months ago
seller wiped and reinstalled windows before selling
I would like to wipe and reinstall now
I have been prepping with this thread:
Erase Hard Drive and Reinstall Windows
when i started collecting my tools together, i noticed that the disk that came with the laptop says Windows 7 home premium, but i have Ultimate installed on the computer (before i got it)... i did find a Ultimate Key in a saved file in Documents.
so my question is. when i wipe and re install, do i use the Prem CD and then maybe log on to Microsoft site and down load Ultimate upgrade using the key i have been given with the computer?
Also, i have dual HDD in what i believe to be a RAID1 set up, is this to involved for a install noob to over take, should i or could i, send it back to Dell/Alienware and have them wipe/reinstall
thank you for any response. i hope to help someone on this forum one day. seems like a nice place :)
