You can open "Repair your computer" on the initial screen, open command prompt and then diskpart to create the new partition. But usually the installer is smart enough to still detect disks with no partitions. In fact, that's what I always do, just delete all partitions, select the disk and let Windows handle the partitioning from scratch.

Made it work. Thanksss.

I have widows 7 home premium oem bought years ago

 It worked on one of my setups, then on another  and im wondering if the same key will work on the same setup with different ssd. 

Is there  a way to make it work if it wont?

It will probably install, but activation will fail (or not, I'm not sure if they're still checking for that).

It will install on as many PC's as you want. I've used mine to install on at least 20 PC's. All fully activated
