Hi broeckie.

Do you not have any installation media at all? No Recovery partition or anything? I assume this is what you are talking about when talking about your D drive.

AS far as installing in French goes, yes this is more than possible, you just select "French" from the drop down menu when it ask's for your language.

As far as upgrading goes, it might be worth looking into Windows Anytime Upgrade: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/88163-windows-anytime-upgrade-enable-disable.html rather than trying to get a (potentially dodgy) ISO from somewhere.

The only problem with that, is that once you have your upgrade key, I think you would need to reinstall Home Premium, then enter the upgrade key if you ever need to reinstall.

Make your recovery disks so you have a path back to factory condition. You can also run the Recovery Partition from boot. ACER PC Restore to factory settings

You can reinstall using any WIn7 retail installer for your version with the Product Key on COA sticker: http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/125874-re-install-windows-7-a.html#post1086729
