Windows 7 Upgrading on different computers question.

[mattmister00]

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to read my problem so here it is:
I have three computers, two are running windows xp and the third (my new one) is running the windows build 7100 only.
My question is, if i buy the windows 7 professional upgrade for 124 dollars (Canadian), can i do a clean install of it on my new computer using the xp key from one of the old ones?

Thank you very much!

Not Sure....

Don't know about the 25-digit code working but the XP Install Disk should work.

Okay i just looked around my desk and i found my windows xp meida centre edition service pack two case, it has two cds in it, would these work for an upgrade?

The first disk should satisfy the requirements for an upgrade.

Thank you very much; your awesome If anyone else has further comments or support his answer please post. Oh and i don't know if it matters but the cds say "for distribution with a new MDG pc only"

You can still do a clean install without the XP key.. You just need to use this little trick:

That will allow you to perform a clean install then Upgrade that clean install all by using the Windows 7 Pro Upgrade your going to buy..
