Installing Win7 Pro from scratch on laptop with Win7 Pro Refurb COA
Hi,
I recently bought a laptop from an online auction site. The laptop is a Thinkpad T400, which has a Windows 7 Pro for Refurbished Computers COA.
Upon first reboot, I was able to activate Windows 7 with the number in the COA sticker.
The problem is that I want to install from scratch, in order to get rid of the Lenovo Recovery Partition on the HD, so I want to do a completely clean install.
My question is: Can I install using one of the Digitalriver ISO Windows 7 Pro images, and then activate it with the COA number I have? Or do I need a special Windows 7 Pro for Refurbished ISO?
As a bonus question, the Windows 7 I have is for UK (since I bought it from somebody in England). Would I be able to install Windows 7 Pro from a Digitalriver image in other language, like Spanish, or is the COA linked to a specific language?
Thank you in advance!
If it is helpful, here is my MGADIAG.EXE output:
