I know you guys may think its a dodgy question.

but I recently Purchased a new laptop with Win 7 home prem.

now I formatted my hard drive that had the "windows" installation files on it.

Ive put My licensed XP MCE 05 on it, but I seem to have issues with games.

now would it make it illegal for me to download a copy of OEM Win 7 home prem. that's untouched Unactivated non serialed and pop my License Key in when it asks for it ?

I don't see a problem, seeing as I'm licensed to run win 7 home prem am I thinking correctly and legally here or am I missing something about "licensed Media" IE Licenced only for what was pre installed on the machine?

As long as you have a legitimate key, then you be able to download the install media.

The license is what you actually pay for.

[Unakjyfk]

Your Licence Key Is the Licence, so you may install the OS from what media you'll find suitable, as long as the media contains exactly the same version of software the licence gives access to.

you will be fine. if anything they would send you an email first telling you to knock it off. and if you honestly dont download anyways, they wont notice you doing it once.

You can download ISO's under MSDN subscriptions. But those ISO's aren't the same as what you would get retail or OEM. I don't think an OEM key would work.

They're exactly the same. They changed that with Vista to avoid the usual "I have a CDKey thats no use without an OEM specific CD"

Ah, I was not aware of that. I just remember in the past, you couldn't use oem or multi-license keys on retail install media. But I havn't really kept up with how Microsoft handles that stuff anymore.
