Possibly unique situation? Retail disc + OEM key
Hello all
I borrowed my friends Windows 7 retail disc (or I think it's the MSDN 64bit disc) for professional. I wanted to try it out for 30 days and make sure I liked it. Well, I did like it and now I ordered the OEM disc since I'm a system builder.
My main question is this: I've already installed windows 7 using the MSDN/Retail disc, could I just enter my OEM key when it arrives and activate?
Or do I need to blow it up and reinstall windows using the "special" OEM disc? I'd rather not have my key screwed up since it's a one time use thing.
Thanks!
