How many times can I install windows 7 home premium

In Programs and Features, only Windows XP Mode is there and the only option when right clicking it is uninstall, but Windows Virtual PC appears in Windows Features and is checked.

OKAY, YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I recently restarted the PC and disabled virtualization in BIOS. Started up Windows XP Mode, and this time: IT RUNS!!!

acm does xp mode operate ok?

Yes it does, and apparently, Windows XP Mode ONLY works if I have virtualization disabled. I have no clue why but I think BIOS may be telling me the opposite of what's enabled and disabled, or some other random thing. My PC originally came with Windows 8 until I reinstalled it with Windows 7 a few months ago, enabled virtualization, did a few reinstalls of Windows 7 with virtualization enabled. and just disabled virtualization a several days ago. Not sure if reinstalling new OSs have anything to do with virtualization or what not.

I’ve pre ordered a copy a Windows 7 home premium and how many times can I install that on a pc, once or how many times you like

I believe it will be like XP in that you can re-install it on the same machine as many times as you wish. A major change to the system will probably necessitate a call to Microsoft to obtain a new key value. That is the way it is with XP.

That wasn't true in my case. With my XP OEM copy MS would only let me reinstall it 4 times. When I tried to install XP a 5th time, I called MS because I could not register it or do updates. I talked with a lady in the Philippines who said I could pay $40 to get a new Key code. But at that point I decided to buy a Windows 7 OEM copy.

Yes, it was the same exact computer with the same hardware. My M.O. was to reinstall the operating system when I took a virus I couldn't restore. I should of made boot disk. When I tried to use my XP OEM copy to did a repair, it always asked me for my administrator password which I didn't know. Speaking of administrator passwords....
