Win7 Upgrade Disc's

[Tvjunky]

Hi' guys.

Last year I purchased a vista installed Dell laptop that qualified for a free Win7 upgrade.
I have also just purchased s/h a Dell T3400 tower with clean COA Vista installed.
Could I successfully used the free upgrade Win7 disc's a second time on the tower ?

yes you could use the disc to upgrade the tower the problem will probably occur when you try to activate the os with a product key that has already been used, you will have to find a way round it by either buying a new key or finding a activator.

Thanks four your reply, I will give the Vista a try.
Further:-
Gave the up-grade disc a try, installed without a problem and is activated.
Message from MS - Congrats' welcome - you have a gen' activated windows product and entitled to all up-dates.
The only downside is - its 64-bit upgrade, I would rather have 32-bit after finding no support drivers for MS Flight Sim hardware.
May have to go back to Win XP system.
