repair install not working

ok I have win7 pro 64bit installed sp1 an ie11 ,tryin to do a repair install, have my oem disk that says its older than the version that I have (so it won't repair) I've looked at a lot of posts tryin to figure this out,
m$ website won't let me download anything w/o going thru msdn, kinda at a loss, really don't want to do a reinstall ,so whats next? suggestions? help? any way to uninstall sp1 an use oem disk?

Is your OEM disc a Microsoft disc?
Do you have one of these on your computer?



Here is a site that many have found to work for downloading a up to date ISO of the Windows 7 that matches your COA key.

yup ben there an it won't take my oem cd code sends me to msdn,its a dell disk,an dell machine

Do you or do you not have a sticker like I posted on your computer?
That is where you will get your OEM COA key from.

How are you getting your COA key?

What I'm trying to figure out for sure is whether the disk is a Dell disk or a Microsoft disk.

its a DELL disk, can I delete sp1 an do a repair ,if so what is the kb# ?

I know very little about what you can or can not do with a Dell disc. I'm thinking not much.
I will go back to the ranch and see if I can find some help from other members.

Theory says it should - practice may be different
I would NEVER recommend uninstalling SP1 - having said that, it's sometimes unavoidable.
