Re: Is it possible, or will Microsoft get pissed?
I know, I figured that much because I wasn't really going to use that disc anyways... was just wondering.
It's an HP laptop, so I definitey cannot do a full system reinstall since
1. It didn't come with a disc
2. HP laptops have crazy shit installed on it that it needs, like bigdog said.
So I tried to do a sytem restore to back when we first got it. Except the oldest restore point on there is from like 2 months ago, not 2 years. So wtf..
So I just uninstalled all un-needed programs and now I'm defragging. Hopefully this works. POS.

Everything you need to install for 99.9% of all HP laptops is downloadable from their support site. I NEVER leave the base OS install on ANY laptop I purchase, and always wipe clean with my own OS install. I've not ever run into a case where it wouldn't work.
The ASUS I'm using right now had hardware that was supported out of the box by Windows 7. The one driver I had to replace was the webcam driver. The one included with Windows 7 caused the video to be flipped upside down.
My wife's HP and my old Compaq were all re-loaded from a standard Vista Home Premium OEM CD using the key that came with the laptop.
