Question about Windows Anytime Upgrade ?

[JordanJP]

Currently I've got Win 7 HP on my laptop and I want to upgrade to Professional. If I upgrade to Professional and say, later on I choose to format my system. Would I be able to start from scratch and install Win 7 Professional with the key I buy today ?

Thanks

You can make a clean install with an upgrade disk (highly recommended in any case): http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/31402-clean-install-upgrade-windows-7-version.html

Besides, I would make an image after the initial installation - and also later. That is a lot less painful: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/73828-imaging-free-macrium.html?ltr=I
