Clean Install Windows 7 with Upgrade Media - It's easy - Just ask Paul Thurrott!

It's easy - and you need install Windows only once.

Basically two little things one must do - a regedit and a commandline
command.

First install Windows clean with the upgrade disc BUT during the install
routine DO NOT type in the Product Key and DESELECT the Automatically
activate when online checkbox.

Once Windows is installed, do the regedit:

- navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE

- change

MediaBootInstall from "1" to "0".

Then do the commandline:

- At a Cmd Prompt type in:

slmgr /rearm

- then hit Enter

- Close the Cmd Prompt, click any OKs and then reboot.

You can now activate through the System applet found in the Control Panel.

That's it.

Paul Thurrott has it all documented with screen shots on his WinSuperSite:

What!? Use a *command* *line*? I thought cryptic command line commands
were only for Linux. Oh well, there goes another of the Windows fan boys
and girls' arguments right out the proverbial Windows.

Get a grip Alias. You know very well NT systems - and especially Windows 7 -
have a very robust commandline environment. I say especially Windows 7
because it arrives equipped with the capable PowerShell (Monad) commandline
shell out-of-the-box, which enables scripting of the .NET framework [on top
of everything else].

Thanks for confirming the lies that Windows doesn't need to use a
command line.

Cryptic line commands are for Linux retards. Linux is going bye bye anyway
so it really doesn't matter.

Um, the OP was talking about cryptic command lines for Windows 7. Please
try to keep up, moron.

What lies? I'm puzzled. Who in their right mind has ever said that? I've
never heard anyone say one never has to use a command line in Windows, nor
any operating system for that matter. Reread your reply and imagine just how
childish (and even silly) your accusation sounds.

They were talking about activation. With Ubuntu, you need cryptic line
commands to configure everything. That is why Ubuntu is rejected by most
who try it. Try to keep up, moron.

Let's talk about line commands in Ubuntu shall we?

Any questions?

It is amazing how little one has to actually ever use a command line in
Windows. Most people never have to.

Yet Windows NT systems such as Windows 7 have very robust command line
environments. Do-it-yourselfers can have a field day on Windows. And
especially with Windows 7.
