As mentioned an upgrade version of Windows voids the licence it is upgrading, so you can't legally use it again. However... If you are in the EU, carefully check the copy of Windows 7 you bought. Due to the way Windows 7 was being distributed in the EU, Microsoft said that an Upgrade version would not be available until 2010, so Retail versions were discounted to the price of upgrade versions, many retailers still branded these as upgrades.
