Is it possible to get a copy of windows 7 using a disc product key?

dabeastwill098 · Aug 26, 2017

I'm out of town for a while and I came across an old pc. It runs windows xp and I felt that this was to old for me to use. I remembered that my dad has a disc copy of windows 7, but I can't get the disc over to where I am. Is it possible for me to go on Microsoft's website and get another copy of windows 7 using the product key on his disc?

THAT LINK will work if it's a retail key, but not OEM.

It does work with an OEM key.

I used it when I wanted to put Win 7 on a USB flash drive, used my OEM Win 7 Pro key.

Still have one machine running Win 7 Pro.

All our Windows 7 media is OEM mdia and this is how we install / reinstall ... I think what SR-71 is referring to is OEM preinstalled ... like a Dell or something where OS was installed at factory.

Yeah I figured that, that's why I posted.

Exactly should have been more specific.

I imaged the drive on the Win 7 Pro PC because the amount of time it takes to just get all of the updates on a clean install is crazy.

I still have it on USB though just incase.
