Hi, thanks for your help once again, One more question, if I use the installation media from microsoft, do I just activate with my product key on my existing copy of windows as this is a digital license and then reinstall the drivers etx from HP ?

 

Thanks.

When installing from that media, when asked to enter the 25-character product-key, click "I do not have one".

The installation will complete.

After a reboot, if Windows finds an Internet connection, it will automatically leverage your entitlement, and will "activate" -- you do not need to enter the product-key.

Correct.
