I bought the Windows 7 Student Upgraded and upgraded my Windows XP Pro
But what if my hard drive were to die. I installed the Windows XP Pro about 5 years ago and have long lost the original CD. My hard drive is really old as well and I fear it might die soon.
When I buy a brand new hard drive, how can I install my Windows 7 Student Upgrade version on it when it requires either XP or Vista to be on the hard drive in the first place.
If it's not possible, then I think the "upgrade system" is really flawed because old hard drives do indeed die...
Thanks!
