Questions relating to clean installing Windows 7 Pro 64-bit DreamSpark
I am trying to clean install Windows 7 Professional on My Toshiba Laptop (W7 Home Premium 64-bit came preinstalled). I am a student and had access to DreamSpark Premium at a community college that I attended. I have a copy of Windows 7 Pro and when I put the key into VAMT 2.0 it says it's a Volume Licensed MAK with 5 Remaining Activations (It hasn't been installed yet).
I am no longer a student there, but the licenses are perpetual. I frequently clean install my laptop usually every 6 months.
Am I going to run into problems down the road if every time I reinstall Windows it will use 1 activation?
How can I avoid this? What will happen when there are no remaining activations. All support is apparently managed through Kivuto, but as I am no longer a student at that college, I am not sure they would fix it.
I thought about using the Windows Backup and Restore tool, but am not sure how reliable this is.
What/How do you guys recommend I do?
Current System Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
Office 2010 Pro Plus SP1 32-bit
Kaspersky PURE 3.0 (also have Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 I may switch to).
What/How do you guys recommend I do?
Thanks!
