anyone know of a store that carries windows 7 ultimate?
I currently have win7 home premium on my laptop, but I do not have the win7 software. this has caused me problems as I've no way to refresh the OS when it gets corrupted over time.
It is on Amazon and 2 more. If you don't need all of the features of Ultimate-I would urge you to buy Professional. It is what we use and it does most everything. BTW: you will find that only the OEM (1 fresh install on 1 computer) is readily available since MS has chosen to discontinue sales at their MS Store site.
If you have a COA you can d/l a installation .iso and use that to install a fresh copy of W7 in the version you have the COA for.
No need to purchase a copy of Windows 7 to refresh your OS if it becomes corrupt.
Your ASUS laptop currently has the ability to create a set of Recovery DVD's or USB Recovery Thumbdrive. These are created from the Recovery Partition on your laptop. This is the very first thing a user should do with a new Laptop. Alternativly, you could make a complete Drive Image to an external backup Drive using free Macrium Reflect.

I actually did that with the Asus recovery disk. messed up the drive(s) in the process. It did not refresh the OS and desktop, it wiped everything and installed itself as new. I pressed the wrong selection, wiped stuff I had on the 2nd hard drive also.
I never did get around to creating the recovery dvd, guess I should have.
Yes, you need to install home premium if you have COA for that
