Easiest method of re-installing W7 Ultimate on 30+ machines
Hello,
We need to format all of our office PC's and are trying to find the best method. Before you read the plan below, please be aware that we have all license keys for each machine all ready to go.
Here is the plan, but I'm not sure how practical it will be;
- Using a host PC/HDD, install a fresh unlicensed W7 Ultimate and then install trial editions of Office and other software we need.
- Clone a dozen HDD's from the host HDD.
- Boot up each PC and apply their original license key for all software (Windows, Office etc)
It's a much cheaper and faster solution than what we've been quoted by third party companies, plus we have all the equipment to do this, however is it that simple regarding booting up and activating Windows with that PC's original key?
Thanks
