Chosen Solution
hello all! Recently contracted some strange things on my inspiron after being without any security on it for around 15 days. Hosts file is hijacked and when trying to repair it does not work. Recently it decided to shut down and now after power it goes to a black screen with just a text line blinking. Wondering if im able to do a fresh install of windows 7 from my new computer that has windows 7. I know the product key for the one on the dell but have no windows 7 disc and am trying to avoid the 170$ price tag of a new OS. Appreciate any advice!
I would buy the 7 builder’s copy for 100.00, It will not work, that is a OEM key, and while not to that system, it is married to the computer you are talking about because it has been activated in advance for you, sorry here is the 64 bit http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Premium-64… 32 bit http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Premium-32… Linux is a very nice option if you don’t want to buy windows, I agree with using Ubuntu, i use it on my second PC exclusively because it had Vista, and it runs WELL on it because of all the specifications vista needs Now to answer your concerns about reusing keys: the key is MARRIED to the system installed on, no matter what you do BUT if the hardware matches, it will work in the end, but it has to be the EXACT same hardware That is all there really is to licensing issues
