How to install 7 from release candidate key
I have a friend who who bought Windows 7 (I think Professional) x64 from school via the Microsoft Academic Alliance when it was Release Candidate 2. The issue we are running into is re-installing it. We don't have the original CD, but we do have the key. I have a CD full of 7 OEM installs, but I can't find one that will accept this key. I have the PC installed to OEMALL 7 Pro currently hoping that I could then change the key, but it won't accept it, it says the key is not valid.
Anyone have an idea how to re install this version of 7?
