Thanks. The desktop came pre-installed with the Windows so no separate disc for Windows. I will certainly try your suggestion to download ISO and try to activate with product key that is on the computer.
Hi - I have a very old Dell I5 with pre-installed Windows 7. The hard drive crashed and the plan was to replace hard drive and re-install Windows 7. Went to Microsoft site to try and download ISO file for Windows 7 and after entering product key it stated the following: "The product key you entered appears to be for software pre-installed by the device manufacturer. Please contact the device manufacturer for software recovery options."   Any suggestions?   Regards Sparks
