Manual activation questions

No, it will only install the Pro version, you can't install all versions at the same time. :)

OK, good deal as I wanted to save the disc space if possible. I sure do appreciate all your great help! Thanks. :)

You're welcome. :)

My suggestion would be to wait till you have everything installed, updates, etc.

Then enter your product key afterwards,

That is option one here,

Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version

You are technically using a full install disc, but your Pro key is an upgrade key so I would try the method I suggest first.

OK, but will it let me install the updates without entering the key first?

Yeah, I do it all the time on virtual machines.

I don't know what a virtual machine is lol! but, I'll give it a try as you said. Thanks again! :)

That's alright, all you need to know is it does work. :)

You're welcome, post back if you have any other questions.

Will do, I'm suppose to receive the ssd on Tuesday. :)

Cool, best upgrade you can throw on your computer, I have a Crucial M4 in my laptop. :)

I got to thinking, I don't believe I told you that I had 2 towers which I built my self and after I upgraded this one to pro, I used the same retail upgrade disc using it's intended home premium key on the second tower. Are you saying I should use the same disc again which will install Home Premium then install all updates, use the Home premium key to activate and then, use the any time upgrade feature to enter my pro key? Or were you meaning for me to use my universal disc, install the pro version all updates then activate using the pro key? I just want to make sure I do the install the way you are telling me to. Sorry to be such a pain in the butt with so many questions.
