    I am going to import this model x120e from USA lenovo website(Starting from $449)

    I need clean-install Windows 7 Pro on this machine, firstly what I will do is to delete Recovery Partition and then install Windows on it using Custom Install option. Please correct me if I am wrong!

    Delete Recovery Partition,
    Run CMD
    Type
    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk 0
    list partition
    select partition 1
    delete partition override
    (this will delete Recovery Partition, are the any unused partitions that I need to delete?)

    then, install Windows 7 Pro using Custom Install option.

    Why don't you just use Windows Anytime Upgrade ?
