Does anyone know if you can use a Windows 7 Pro edition disc to reinstall Windows 7 "N" edition??

How legit is this? Normally I would make sure the customer has a disc first or a partition that we can boot from.

K and N version of Windows were made to address certain legal sanctions against M$ in the EU and elsewhere. You cannot get N from Enterprise. The product keys are separate.

The link Porthos provided gives W7 ISO's including some N. But if the EU's machine has a true N OEM install it may not register since those are for retail product.

Even with Windows 7 since you can hack the licensing scheme?? I thought it was all based off key now and could use any Windows 7 disc. Not true?

From what I have seen not all ISO's handle all keys. I have a technet sub and I have tried a key on a different ISO and it did not work. Maybe the publicly available ISO's might work.
