    Hi

    Yes, but possible issue could be activation of your key as you cannot connect to activation servers and the phone support for activation is not available as yet, not tried a system install without a NIC, give it a go though.

    The rearm (slightly different switch than was posted for Vista) command works if activation wont work past the 30 day limit and you only get 3 goes at this, so 90 days.
