I have an HP (dv6 6119tx) laptop which came with Windows 7 Home Premium (64Bit) pre-installed, I have a factory provided recovery partition (13GB) which recovers Windows, drivers and crapware I don't need. I have a label (sort of sticker) attached at the bottom of my laptop which has License key for Windows 7 Home Premium imprint on it.
Now, I don't want to keep that recovery partition so that I can use those precious 13 GB for my data, so can I use Windows Install (official Microsoft provided ISO) disk to install Win7 Home Premium (32 or 64 bit) using that license key on sticker (I'm aware of the facts like I can't use that license on more than 1 computer, etc. etc.)?
