Windows Image to reinstall windows?

MxPhenom 216 · Feb 3, 2012, 08:28 PM

Is there a way to get a windows 7 professional image on a DVD so i can reinstall windows on a new hard drive in a clients laptop? I have ultimate and home retail discs but her laptop came with professional, so i need a image so i can just use her key.

did your clients hdd die or are you doing and upgrade? if its and upgrade you can do a backup of the existing hdd on and external hdd and use restore disc and reload the image on to the new drive

If you follow the second part thread about putting it on a USB device, yes. But it will erase the drive in the process.
