Install that copy of Win7 on your computer overwriting the existing Win7 install (you may delete the recovery partition if you wish, and some do, but I recommend against doing so unless you really need the space it can come in handy later).Download a copy of your version of the Win7 install disc (if your key is for Professional, download Professional etc.).OEM discs and retail discs are the same, just one is supported by the manufacturer. I have never had a problem using an OEM cd key on a retail disc they are fundamentally the same. In my experience from working with crappy proprietary software pre-installed on laptops (all I did at my old job was clean that crap off people's computers) is that it's easier to download an image of a Win7 CD (retail: not illegal you own a license) and install it on your computer.
