Administrators AWS Posted January 29, 2013 Administrators Posted January 29, 2013 Hi I have a Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1) x64 desktop PC that I plan to reformat and do a clean reinstallation of Windows 7. I have an original Windows 7 Home Premium full retail DVD box (one of the first that came out) and an original box with a Windows Anytime Upgrade box to go from Windows 7 Home Premium to Ultimate. I understand how to do the first step of a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium. What I would like to know is, from this point, what is the quickest/most efficient way to get to the point that I have a fully updated Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1) x64 again. For example, Does it matter/help whether I do the anytime upgrade immediately then update or vice versa? Should/can I install SP1 immediately thereby cutting out a lot of the update cycles before SP1? My system is: [*]i7 (870) 2.93GHz [*]8GB RAM [*] 240GB SSD SATA3 [*]NVidia GeForce GTS450 1GB DDR5 [*]Asus P7P55D-E Motherboard [*] Internet connection 7MB/s DSL Thanks in advance. Queeg P.S. After this is done I hope to image/clone the drive to minimize this in future. View this thread
