- DVD for the Win 7 versions is difficult to get by unless you have MSDN access. You can try getting it from Digital river or use a trial version installer if available from MS. Once again, bear in mind , the version must be same as your original OS that came with new System.
- If you do a fresh install, the recovery partition remains intact unless you do something with it. You can do the fresh install without touching that recovery partition.
- You can install Win7 OS ,same original one as many times as you like on the same system but with no hardware changes.
