Using full keys on downloaded upgrade versions
I've ordered seven copies of Windows 7, five full versions on pre-order from a retailer, plus Home Premium Upgrade and one Professional Upgrade download version from the Microsoft Student deal:
Microsoft UK Education - Home - Ultimate Steal
Now I hear that the pre-ordered copies will not arrive for FIVE DAYS after the release date. Will I be able to use my "full" keys if I use the downloaded upgrade versions to install?

Hello Nigel,
In Vista you could, but it's not known yet if you can with Windows 7.
