Gan you get a trial install of Windows 7?

Hi all,

I'm selling a PC but not my copy of Windows. Am I able to get a trial to install so that the buyer can see it works?

I know you can get trial versions of server OS's but not sure about anything else.

If you can a link would be much appreciated as I've looked online but failed.

Thanks,

G

yes you can install without the product key from the original disc, leaves them with 30 days to activate

You could just do a fresh install but don't input the product code. Windows will then have a 28 or 30 day countdown (I forget) to activation

Oh snap

LOL! I don't know why I didn't think of that

Thanks

Edit... does that mean potentially if they have their own copy of Windows 7 that they could just put their own code in an their good to go?

Thanks,
