Alright just did a fresh install of Win7 Pro.
The issue, is now the product key. They key I had written down turned out to be for the Win7 upgrade from when I upgraded from xp to 7. Sooooo, when I install windows it says the product key is not active or something along those lines. So it appears I need a product key for the full version of Win7 Pro. What are my options here? Is my only option to just buy Win7 Pro? If I do that, will it take that key and work for what I have just installed or do I need to install Win7 from the exact disc that I would buy?
Running on the 30 day trial right now. Wanted to figure out what I need to do before I start installing a lot of my programs back incase I need to start over.
