Windows 7 Enterprise trial has expired

I have pushed the trial run on my Win 7 Enterprise. Now, the screen flashes. I just bought Win 7 Home Premium system builder mainly for the legitimate product key sp1 because Microsoft will not sell one key. If I reload my OS, I'll lose all my data? I don't think that I need a clean install because I have not any performance issues. Don't know what to do if it blocks both my raid configurations. I have to reset my SSD? Help, please!

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

You will receive the following warning:

The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
