Of course you can try to use your own "old" serial. If it works, you still can say that you mistyped.However, you are supposed to enter the serial printed on the genuine DVD you bought from Microsoft. :unsure:

Check out this list, choose your version, download it, use the iso-file to burn a dvd, install Windows 7 and fill in your product key.

Make sure to choose the OEM version.

It is probably legal to use a version, that is down loaded from the internet, with the product key, because the purchase of Windows 7 is paid in the price of the Netbook.
