Hi,

I had a scare with my computer yesterday and almost had to reinstall but realized that my install disk seems to be missing. I was wondering if I borrowed a windows 7 home premium install disc from my friend would I be able to use my product key (On bottom of laptop) to install correctly using their disc.
Any help is appreciated

-Danny

If the disk you use in the exact same system as your COA yes you can.
Example: Windows 7 Home Premium/64 disk and a COA key that reads the same Windows 7 Home Premium/64. When you buy Windows operating system the COA is what you are really paying for. That gives you the right to use the operating system on the disc where/wheir ever it came from. This will also be of great help.

Not sure what you mean by "The X***** number for mine is X17-96072".

Your system specs say you have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

The English version of that is X17-58997.iso.

You need to download whatever version matches your product key. No more, no less.

alright, on the COA there is a number that looks like the ones on the digital river site. I thought that might mean something
