    Yep, you can use an iso or 3-file download from the guide in my sig and then just plug in the key once you upgrade

    Every install contains every win7 version it is just depends what serial is entered.

    Change serial and version changes without the need of downloading anything or installation dvd, it just does some reconfiguration for a few minutes.
