I have a product key for windows 7 home premium 64 bit recovery disk but I bought a new motherboard so it won't install on that motherboard, could I use the product key to install the iso online?

Unknown as to whether that would actually work.
Only way to know is to try. If it doesn't install, or installs but doesn't activate, you have only lost a couple hours.

I have no clue my dad found the disk in his shop and I needed one so he gave it to me.

OK...you have the install disk.
Do you have the license key?
What OS is it?
