Software for students.

I found a website of the same name last night and managed to buy Windows 7 Pro upgrade for £40. I wanted it for my HTPC build i'm doing at the moment what's the best way of installing this on to an SSD. I do have an old (genuine) copy of XP i could install then upgrade but i want to do a clean as install as possible. Any tips?

Also on the same site they're doing MS Office 2010 for £40 and you can install it to 2 machines. I have 3 machines, is there anything preventing me from installing it to a 3rd?

You can do a clean install using a upgrade copy, see link. But as far as I know, you can only put a student version on 2 systems, and that is part of the licence agreement.

The terms of the license. You have already got it at a ridiculously low price for 2 machines. Don't be a cheapskate.
