If you can borrow someones Windows 7 CD give this a try - http://pcsupport.about.com/od/osproductkeys/f/windows-7-serial-key.htm

Just use your serial when you reinstall. Like I said I did it on my dads laptop the other week and it was a piece of piss.

ok, i'll give it a go on an old laptop first. I guess it has to be a like for like copy, eg 64 bit and not 32 bit and the correct version eg home/professional?

cheers for the help y'all

I've got a Dell Win7 64 CD / ISO I could get you, doesn't have all the crapware installed by default either - it's just a vanilla Dell Win7 CD. Just backup your shizzle to a USB drive, reinstall et voila done. Better than having someone getting your private info/bank details/porn  :wink:

The CD key in the machine will be Dell's factory one and after a few months may want it's own putting in, you should have one under the laptop, or under the battery as it's a Dell. I use ProduKey from Nirsoft for extracting Windows/Office Keys.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
