How do you uninstall windows ultimate and reinstall windows 7 home please the windows ultimate was a copy?

To do this, you must boot from the Windows 7 disc or USB thumb drive. To do this, enter your BIOS, which can usually be done by pressing Delete or F8 when it is booting, or if you have a Dell by changing the boot priority right on the startup screen. After this, hot the reboot button and it should take you right into the Windows 7 setup. Make sure after this is done, you change the boot priority back to your hard drive first.
