I wish to format my hard drive because I am going to upgrade. However, my computer came with windows pre-installed and I was given a windows disk. I don't think it is a recovery disk because when I run it, it gives me the option to install windows.

I have the product activation key, but will windows accept after I have formatted as I already used it? Can I install windows at all?


Sorry to ask such noobish questions, but at least I will know for future!!

I can see no reason why it wouldnt work,if you have an original Disc, original CD Key then it should work.
No difference between a freshy formatted disk and a brand spanking new disk.

You're good to go I suggest :)
