So, I cannot do an "in-place" installation as it is now. All I have is the Win 7 Home premium USB dongle (OEM from Dell) and the key for the upgrade.
At one time MS provided download links for ISO files for all the Win 7 variants, but I'm pretty sure that page was torn down, I think in the Technet revamp. But I've seen them on a couple of reputable blogs, so:
Just because you got an upgrade via a Dell OEM version of Windows, does not mean you're not entitled to a kosher copy of the software pertinent to your current license - but it might take a bit of effort to find it
