yes,  just us the disc and install 7 from scratch.  and your all good to go.

but will it still work even though I already used it?

so I was going to keep the free gift and send back the 730 series and maybe get the 850 Pro...or jsut keep the 730.... I keep getting mixed signals from people saying that the 730 is worse than the 850 and then some people say the 730 is one of the best..... still not 100% sure....but I was going to use the adapter from intel to copy over my OS and maybe a few games to the SSD and then boot off of the SSD and then install Windows 8 onto it

From what I've seen and heard the 730 and 850Pro are nearly identical in performance differences are neglible and/or within margin of error. so goes down to

Cost-850

reliability-730

soooo it's down to preference xD

I'm just going to stick with the 730.... I just need to figure out what I am going to do with Windows :S

yes, worst case you'll have to get on the phone to the automated service and quote the activation number to get a new activation code, after that it'll be like new.
