I have an old iso of windows 7 at my University and I want to install it on a new machine.

I have an old iso of windows 7 at my University and I want to install it on a new machine. The terms of use of installation of mention that it subject to the original agreement of the University. I have graduated and am no longer a student. Can I use this iso standard and buy a product key after installation? Or I have to buy a new package of windows 7?

If I can use the disk is it a place to buy a product key on microsofts website? I kind of remember a possibility to buy a key during the activation process, but I don't want to install this version and have to start over.

Thanks for the help

Yes, you can use the same key and buy a new product key (same edition). Of course, you can simply buy a retail box package in order to get the key. There is no digital distribution of the keys (if you find one, they are illegal).

No, you buy the retail package to get the key.

I kind of remember a possibility to buy a key during the activation process, but I don't want to install this version and have to start over.

You can try to use the key if you still have it and try the activation of the phone.
