Hi everybody. I have an OEM Windows 7 PC that's getting slow and bogged down and I've decided to reinstall Windows on it. (I've tired cleaner with no luck; I've decided to start out fresh However, instead of using system recovery options through my recovery disk/ partition I'd like to avoid the bloatware problem and reinstall windows through a legal Windows 7.iso and activate using the OEM key. Here's my problem: From what I've researched, any isos you use to reinstall windows must be the same version as the one tied up to the OEM key. The iso I've downloaded is Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium, but my PC came with Windows 7 Home Premium without SP1;
it wasn't released yet. So will I be able to reinstall with the SP1 iso and activate using the OEM key, or will I have to redownload a version of Windows 7 iso without SP1?
