Solution
Does the sticker say COA or OA at the end of the Windows 7 edition? If yes you'd need install media from the manufacturer. If it's a retail license you can download and install from a normal Windows 7 iso. Then choose the Custom (advanced) install option, click each partition, delete them and then click the disk and hit next.
