iirc OEM keys for windows don't work with plain-jane off the shelf Win7 disks. I've tried this to no avail (perhaps I did something wrong), so I ended up giving up on the OEM key.
Plus formatting with different versions of windows would require new disks, be it from a torrent or from retail.
Not sure if this'll help, but if you happen to know a UBC Computer Science student, they have access to the disk images for Win7 Pro. tbh you can just walk in and get it yourself, if you know where to look.
Given the effort required, just do a system restore.
