upgrade xp to windows 7 twice?

[husker]

Hi there,

I bought the "win 7 home upgrade" and installed over my existing XP with no problems (didnt use upgrade option did a clean install).

However I have a new motherboard/CPU arriving today and will need to reinstall win 7 again. My question is can i do this easily as the is no XP to "upgrade" from anymore.

Also, how many times can you use the "upgrade" disk on 1 PC?

Cheers

P

Welcome to Seven Forums, husker
Not sure if you are going to be able to do what you want to do but I have been hearing good things about Windows back up and restore. You could look at that in this tutorial. I have also been hearing that MS is very understanding and a phone call could get you activated again if need be. Good luck to you
