Windows 7 Fresh Install On New Ultraportable

I don't usually post here but I thought I'd give it a shot. I picked up a Lenovo ThinkPad x120e with pre-installed Windows 7 Professional 64bit -- however it has a ton of bloatware and junk from Lenovo that I'd like to remove. Is there an easy way of doing a fresh install of Windows 7? Mind you, this is an Ultraportable without a disc drive -- and I don't have the disc, but I can download a legit copy of Windows 7 since I have the product key in the battery slot of the Lenovo (it's different than the pre-installed Windows I believe).

Also - a general question. If I was looking into changing the CPU in the future, it's definitely possible, correct? I was thinking of upgrading to an i3 in a few years if it's doable.

Download the correct Windows 7 ISO from here. Burn to a DVD or flash drive and install it on the laptop. You can use the Product Key that's on the laptop when it asks you for it.

After you have installed it make sure you re-activate the key (really easy and takes only 10 minutes).

You can put the windows 7 iso on a flash drive and install it that way.

Upgrading a cpu will be not happening.

Windows 7 is pretty good at updating device drivers. I did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium on my Toshiba NB305-N600 netbook. I had downloaded the drivers beforehand from Toshiba's Web site. it turns out, I didn't need to. Windows Update found them all. It found almost all drivers on the first attempt. The only driver it didn't find was the Intel 3150 drivers which it found on the second attempt.
