I type in the product key exactly as it is on the sticker, but windows is * still * telling me the number is not valid. Help?

I have an edition win7 Home premium. I had a few problems of massive virus, so a friend offered to clean my laptop and re - install windows, but because I don't have a CD player, he did it by way of downloading a copy digital Microsoft installation, for purposes of repair and then put in the product key number. earlier today, I started getting messages that my copy of windows is not genuine, so I checked the number in the system. It was different from my style, so I thought I would just change that indicates the sticker, as they say, right? apparently not! the 5 last digits are difficult to distinguish, but not impossible. of possibilities, most of the options have not yet entered valid, so based on what I see and what I am allowed to enter, there must be this specific set of 5 numbers/letters. However, no matter how many times I have it checked through, he continues to tell me that my copy of windows is not genuine. I normally wouldn't care, but its boring freaking as * how many times it appears telling me its not genuine and I need to fix it. and now he tells me that I have to spend $ 109 to buy a new #? What is the problem with that came with my laptop? I can't afford another $ 5 handling and costs at the present time, much less $ 110 to buy a new key 25-digit freaking. I did not write the number before the re-setup that I trusted my friend what it was done... my mistake, but I am desperate difficulty. is there a way that someone can help me?

The ratio is normal - for where the system was reinstalled using retail media and the key found by a Keyfinder, rather than the COA sticker on the case.

You must change to one on the sticker - notes the following...

0xC004F050 usually means that you have misinterpreted a character - C/G/6 or B/8 or Y/V are the most common.

Please note that the following characters cannot be used - A E I L N O S U Z 1 0 - so don't bother trying unless you like noise it does :)

an O/0 is almost always a Q
