Windows 7 key and Installation

**Tony.** · 31-01-10, 07:49 PM

Hey guys,

I obtained a copy of windows 7 off the internet to try it.
I installed it and it says in the corner of the screen that this copy is not legit.
Every time I start up my pc, it comes up to change the product key.

(Its windows 7 Ultimate Build 7022)

So I like windows 7 and I bought a legit key.
Now, i typed it in and it sayed it is not compatible with this version of windows 7 or something along the lines of that.

Now, I am assuming it is becasue its a build 7022 of windows 7.

WHere can I get the final version of windwos 7 from?
I obviously dont need to buy the dvd because I already have the key.

Any help, or would anyone lend me there copy for the day? I live in brisbane

Also depends on where you purchased the 'legit' key, as some 'legit' keys being sold by unauthorised sellers have ceased working.

I didn't hear of any keys which have ceased working yet. Did you mean MSDN accounts being shut down?

Did you buy an Ultimate key?

Now, i typed it in and it sayed it is not compatible with this version of windows 7 or something along the lines of that.

Did you buy a key for a full install or an upgrade key?

Basicly you need the correct key for the correct dvd .....
ie;
Retail Iso needs a retail key
Enterprise Iso needs an enterprise key
Upgrade Iso needs an upgrade key

The key must match the media you are installing from.

ja28di, This thread is over a year old stop looking for free or cheap keys your wasting your time. Use the loader as several of us suggested or go buy a legit copy.
