hi I purchased Windows 7 a few months after it's release, during my time at university my university has changed its email system. Here is my problem, I know I used my uni address to get the Offer for windows 7 and buy it. however I want to create a Boot CD because my PC needs to have a clean slate, thing is the backup that came with my PC is the original Vista and would much rather have the Windows 7 Professional I paid for 2 years ago, I have statements proving my purchase but just need to recover my product key and software,, how do I do this ? Or is there a way I can create a huge boot CD which preloads my product key and therefore activates me automatically? Thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance, Try logging into the MS Store using the Live account that you used for the purchase - the key should be there. -- Noel Paton | Nil Carborundum Illegitemi | CrashFixPC | The Three-toed Sloth
