Product: HP 7320 touchsmart
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi, i've bought a Crucial ssd for our 7320.

 

Now i want to install original os, with a clean installation, but the os is an OA version licence.

 

I had try to download from microsoft a windows OEM version with the original key but it's invalid.

 

Can I download a OA version for use my key,  or i have to buy a new win7pro OEM ?

 

I have the original recovery discs, but they are outdated and i do not use the software included. I prefer a clean copy.

 

Can you help me?

 

Thanks.

Luis.

Sorry, but your original Recovery Disks are most probably all that is available, at this point.

 

HP stopped carrying Win7 Recovery Media some time ago and does not offer Recovery Media available for download.

 

You could certainly TRY to purchase Win7 OEM online, but HP does not sell it and anyone that does, I would suspect the legitimacy of their copy.


If HP no longer provides Recovery Media for your model, a couple of other sites you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

 

But ... I suspect that the disks would be the same ones that you already have.
