I have a legitimate Windows Vista Ultimate Edition license with the computer I purchased from Dell, but I lost the CD at some point and needed to format so I just downloaded an OEM edition from the internet and formatted my computer using it and installed it.
Can I purchase a Windows 7 Upgrade License from a store, or do I need to buy a full license? Kinda sucks given that I basically just lost my DVD. =/
If u have a cover of that licensed DVD then show it to upgrade.but it should be in licensed period.U can also show purchase receipt.everyoem download store user has unique bar code on his DVD cover u can recover ur lost information of ur software.But u lost ur DVD cover also u have to purchase full copy of windows7.
If u registered at the time of buying u can also find ur info on company website.
Hi there,
My advice is to buy a full installation of windows 7 Premium and just do a clean install.
Upgrades do not always work as well as the complete install.
Also download Win 7 drivers for all your hardware and burn to CD or flash drive since there is bound to be some hardware needing a driver.
Enjoem download storeoy Win 7,

I'm a bit lost to your question - You bought a legitimate copy of Windows Vista pre-installed on your computer, yet you reformated your computer with a OEM edition which you downloaded from the internet? I dont understand this, surely does not downloading and reformatting your computer to install Vista now mean you are using a pirated illegal version of it? I dont understand what you are asking.
You might be eligable for an upgrade... But I recommend just reformatting your computer with a full (most likely OEM) license.
