I’ve just purchased the windows 7 Key only for a PC that I have thats still running XP and I was hoping if you could tell me the best method of going about the installation given that only the product key is supplied. I take it that it can just be downloaded. I do have a couple of Windows 7 installation disks that came with my other PC’s but they are for ‘Home Premium’ and ‘Ultimate’ so presumable would not be suitable, or is it just the key for these that is different?
