Reinstall Windows 7 without product key
I bought a used laptop that has either a version retail or upgrade of Windows 7 installed (OEM product key sticker is for the original OS, Vista). I would like to reinstall, but I don't have the product key. I tried tools such as Magic Jelly Bean KeyFinder, but they are unable to produce the key.
I made a USB installation using the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool. How can I reinstall?
If the key finder displayed BBBB-BBBB-BBBB is a volume license key. You might have to reinstall the original Windows Vista provided with the machine.

Execution of format or clean install on Windows 7 without product key
Hello!
I need to do a clean install/format to old PC which came with Win 7 Enterprise already installed. Unfortunately, I don't have the product key more (I think it was written on a single DVD supplied with the PC, but I can't find this disc more). I tried the key with Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder, but it says that the cd key is BATH-BATH-BATH-BATH-BATH - This is not normal. Is there a way to reinstall/refresh version of Windows 7 if I don't have the product key more?
Thank you
Janek

I have an Acer Aspire 3100 computer laptop comes with Windows Vista, I am not on the number of bits, sure that the processor in this system supports 64-bit operating systems. I was curious to know if there was a way for me to download Windows Vista from Microsoft online and burn it to a CD or a DVD if I have a valid product key supplied with the system. Is it possible to do this? Thank you.
You can not download Vista.
In this case, you may be able to buy Acer recovery disks, if you have not created some when you first the computer.
If you can borrow a Vista DVD (a copy retail, not supplied by manufacturer), you can reinstall since using your product key.

Product key bad for the wrong version?
Hello
Recently the computer in business inherited from a friend, very fast and very good. Regardless of the operating system no - geniue, is with Vista Business, while the thumbnail of authentication is Vista Ultimate. I took a screenshot of what it says when I put Vista Ultimate product key: (it does not appear if you are unable to use it: P)
http://S13.PostImage.org/57nfn5pqv/vistareg.jpg
He said: "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You must run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a Windows Vista Business product key."
How would the installation of Windows Vista? My files would still be there when you need him? My drivers would still exist? No matter what to get deleted or become unusable? He would return to SP1? Any response is welcome.
You can order form of the manufacturer's recovery media.
The reason why the system as non-authentique shows currently is using a license in Volume KMS - these licenses must be re-activated at least every 6 months by connecting to the KMS user license activation server.
It will require a reformat and reinstall whatever you do, unless you can connect to the KMS - Volume media server cannot be upgraded under normal conditions.
