Default Upgrading 7.4 to 8.0 on used 003r

I just bought a used 003r that came with PTLE 7.4 and an additional 8.0 disc with the authorization code on it. Legit purchase and software license was transferred.

I have a sony Viao laptop running Window 7 prof 64 bit. Haven't installed any PTools version yet

I'd like to try to go all the way to the new 8.03 beta version of PTLE.

So how do I do this?

The 8.0 version I have was sent to me by the seller and is a .dmg file that he copied onto a DVD. He also sent me the authorization code for the 8.0.

So here's my setup:

Sony Viao with windows 7 prof 64bit, with a firewire port with the ricoh chipset.
003r
Original ProToolsLE 7.4 disc with auth code
DVD with PROTOOLS LE 8.0 copied onto the disc as a .dmg file. With auth code.

I know I need a second firewire drive. But for now I just want to load up to the latest 8.03 beta of Pro Tools LE for Windows 7.

What is the process here? I'm assuming I have to load 7.4 and upgrade up, but can I do this all on Windows 7?

Thanks,
Mark

You have a few problems here. First off, Windows 7 is touchy(but we'll hope for the best there). Next, I think your DMG file is for Mac so you may need to download the windows version of PT8 to get started. DO NOT install 7.4(it won't work and its not needed. PT8 is a full install(despite being called an "upgrade"). If the seller wants, he could give you his login info for Digidesign so you could download the latest version(also a full install) by looging on as him. So you need the install for the latest version, for windows, and with a good authorization code.
