Windows 7 service pack 1

[Pingu of Nivea]

Basically, I bought a code online which says it will only work on the windows 7 service pack 1 disc. The disc I have says windows 7 professional including service pack 1. Will the key work? Does it mean it wouldn't work if it it included windows 7 service pack 2 instead?

There is no service pack 2 (yet) and the limitation is to the version of windows 7 (home basic, professional, enterprise) not the service pack.

edit: if you bought home basic then you can download .iso file from digitalriver (microsofts digital distribution partner). you can find links on the net

Okay, thanks, got a bit muddled up.

Service Packs are just software packages (basically a large group of updates). Some Windows setup DVDs come with them, but even if they don't, you can install them from Windows update with no problems at all.

Here are the Windows 7 SP1 ISOs just so you know

Yes ^ If your disc doesn't work then go download the ISO from Microsoft/DigitalRiver

As those would be like Ultimate Edition and allow users to use that higher edition in order to install all the lower editions; like Pro, Home Premium, etc.

If your purchased key was for Pro or Home Premium; then the OS disc u already have on-hand should work.

Let me ask to do this procedure will I have to burn future ( planning to upgrade ) to windows 7...will I have to burn the files to a virgin dvd then it says I need daemon tools to read as image...how will be able to do that if the upgrade from windows xp to windows 7.....I'm new at this...need I to installar daemon tools and putt the disc to read and do the steps of installation ?
Other question to burn to virgin dvd can nero program do the work I mean save the installing files to a new dvd ? I am still planning on going forward with this upgrade but yet since I've been years with xp is my first time and don't want to do anything wrong.

Personally if I were you I would download an ISO and just put that on a USB (4GB or higher) it's a lot simpler and it will install a lot quicker from a USB than it would a disc. But to answer your question to burn a 64bit version of Windows 7 SP1 you would want a blank disc (4GB of higher) and you could just use the built-in Windows disc burner, you wouldn't need any special software all you would need is a disc drive that can burn discs.

U need a tool that can properly extract the ISO file to DVD or USB Flash Drive; u can't simply just put the ISO file onto a media and expect it to work, cause it won't

Something like NERO Burning Suite can handle ISO file extraction to media.
USB Flash is way to complicated for newbs if u not familiar with DiskPart, CMD and all that.
I would just do DVD (4.7GB) if u have a DVD Read/Writer

Not complicated, download ISO and use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to make a booable USB or Disk

burn the iso you have using free dvd bruner software 'imageburn'.
burn to dvd as an *.iso file and not as ordinary data aas the former is bootable and the other is not.
