• Install Windows 7 Home Premium with Ultimate disc
    4 replies, posted
Quick story: I had to reinstall Windows on my laptop and I only had an Ultimate disc to do so, this installed Ultimate on my laptop, but I need to use Home Premium on my laptop because I use my Ultimate key on my home PC. So right now I'm on my laptop using an unactivated version of Windows 7 Ultimate, but I need to downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. How can I do this? Note: I have the Keys to both Ultimate and Home Premium copies. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Aren't there only two versions of Windows 7 install media (x86 and x86_64)? I figure it's like that because that's the way Vista is. You can install any version of vista with either disc depending on if you want the x86 or x86_64 version.
yes you can do this the install.wim includes all forms of windows, you can also get the ISO free from Microsoft [url]http://www.mydigitallife.info/download-windows-7-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-links/[/url]
