Help with fresh install. OEM windows 7 Pro Dvd or ISO ?
Hello my friends
This is the only place where i know people wont say "dont be stupid, upgrade to windows 10"
I know i will not be judged here.
I stopped downloading and applying hotfixes and windows updates back in 2016.
Good old Belarc adviser says i am missing 54 security updates.....but im still chugging along.
I have decided to start fresh, reinstall all over again and grab all the good stuff while support is still there.
My windows drive is getting old. I want to buy a new hard drive and reinstall my windows 7 pro.
I still have the original OEM dvd, and I still have the COA sticker.
The only change i have made was I recently removed my old AMD 7800 graphics card and put in a nvdia gtx 1060.
My Windows has only ever been activated once and that was in the shop when pc was first custom built in back in 2013.
Will Auto online activation still be ok?
Should i reinstall using my original OEM dvd or download and use a microsoft iso?
Thanks to anyone that can help.
