It's not like he's not eligible for an upgrade - the machine came licensed for Vista.

(In my case, I couldn't obtain a restore CD) Putting Vista back on the system to run an installer is silly. Please note, not one, but two Microsoft reps told me to use a double-install method for handling a very similar situation. At this point, using either the approved method for doing a clean install, or the above procedure, is a lot more palatable. However, in this case, he's already nuked his system.

Also, you previously stated 'I was upgrading from Windows Vista HP 32-bit to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit' and now you say you have a Dell computer ? A little clarification would be helpful!Д¬arey Frisch If he had been using the Vista install, and had data that he needed to bring over, I could see it.

If you reformatted your drive and booted from the Windows 7 Upgrade discВ to install Windows 7, then you cannot use the Windows 7 Upgrade license, you would need a Full Version license since the Windows 7 upgrade license compliance check for a qualifying Windows license (i.e. An Upgrade license can only be used if a qualifying Windows operating system is actually installed on the drive partition you wish to upgrade to Windows 7. If all went well, you should be good to go.Д¬omputer manufacturers, such as Dell, are shipping a Windows 7 Upgrade disc and license. Click it, enter your upgrade key, and let it activate.

You will be notified that you have 30 days to activate, and near that is a blue link to enter a new key. (you will be prompted) Restart the machine, and head over the the About page. Run the following command 'slmgr /rearm' and wait for the command to complete. Start a Command shell as Administrator (find it in the start menu, right click on it, and select 'run as administrator') You will need to authorize the UAC. Change the value from 1 to 0, and close the registry editor. Once your system is stable, open regedit.exe (You can search for it in the start menu) Find this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/MediaBootInstall. If you do, install them, reboot, and then start this procedure. First, make sure you don't have any pending updates that require a restart. The second requires a bit more work, but is far faster, because you don't have to sit through a second install. This is the Microsoft approved way of doing this with an upgrade disk. After the second install, delete the Windows.OLD folder (since it's pointless), and activate using your upgrade key. The first method is fairly self-explanatory. At this point, you can either: a) start an upgrade install of Windows 7 on top of the new install, or b) modify the registry and reset the license manager to let you activate the current install.

When it is done installing, you will have a clean, full install that you can't activate with an upgrade key. This first install will not have a product key until later. Further, uncheck the box to allow for automatic activation. At a certain point in the stall, you are asked for a product key. The installer will configure your partitions for you. (there should be no partitions at all) Then, clean install Windows 7 to the disk. When you are done, you should have nothing but unallocated space. I use a Linux system rescue disk, but you can accomplish the same thing by running a custom install and deleting all of the partitions.

Assuming your hard disk has already been formatted, I would recommended erasing it again.
