Windows 7 #1

Question : Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a bare bones system, using the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade disk

Answer :  Yes it is [well it worked on my system

  1. Install windows 7 as a fresh install using the disks
  2. Do not enter product Key and don’t let it activate
  3. Once installed update the system using windows update
  4. From the run prompt type activate and fill in the key and let the system active
  5. Enjoy :)

You might be wondering why i tried this, well i had vista 32bit, and you can’t upgrade to window 7 64bit, now you can :)   Can’t guarentee it will work for you, but i’m now typing this using Windows Live Writer on a 64bit Version of Windows 7.
