How To Install Windows 7 With Only Upgrade DVD

To install Windows 7 using only the upgrade version follow these steps:

1. Install Windows like you normally would making sure to select the Custom option (I am not going to go over this in detail. If you need help installing Windows search for instruction on Google)

2. When you get to the step that asks for the product key leave it blank and finish the setup.

3. When it boots into Windows go to Start and type regedit in the search box.

4. From regedit search for MediaBootInstall and change the 1 to 0 and exit regedit.

6. Type slmgr /rearm and push enter. Restart the computer.
