    Hi,

    i have a Windows 7 64 Bit Home premium OEM DVD which I have bought and installed on my desktop computer with the serial that came with that oem DVD.

    on my acer 1410 is windows 7 64 bit home premium preinstalled.

    is it possible to make a clean install from the purchased OEM DVD and use the serial number that is on the sticker at the bottem of the 1410?

    I remember that I tried this once with an asus laptop with vista and it did not work as vista would not recognize the oem-serial that was on the notebook.

    thanks for some answers.

    regards,
    efco
