Is your system a Dell computer? If it is it may work or it may not. But if your system originally came with Win 7 Home Premium then even if it does work you are in violation of the License. As that system is only licensed for 7 Home Premium.
So no one here can help you with this as it goes against the forum rules.
Good Luck.
the dvd is also of windows 7 home premium 64 bit and yes my laptop is dell too...
but coming of that dvd with a different laptop doesn't matter???
i was reading that it has something to do with OEM....
i know i m asking too much but i don't know much about this stuff...
No it doesn't matter with Dell OS DVDs. They are only tied to Dell computers not to any one model of Dell computers. One disc fits, works on, all Dell computers.
If it has SP1. Read the label.
Otherwise if you are following the tutorial to Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 you should have seen that the latest official installer is provided in the first step.
the cd worked now i have my old genuine windows 7...thanks to seven forums
