    Windows 7 OEM iso for new machine. Error from Microsoft website


    Hi there,

    I purchased an OEM key from Kinguin and i can't seem to find an official ISO for Windows 7 Pro x64 anywhere. I get an error message from Microsoft website when i go to enter the key to verify it. I've attached a screenshot of what i receive.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've asked for a refund from Kinguin just incase anyways.

    Thanks

    the error box from MS says it all.
    If you search for your code on the web i suspect youll find loads of posts telling you what it is.

    Demand your refund.

    Googled it. Nothing. I spoke to Kinguin as well. They pointed me to this page:

    Windows 7 Professional Free Download ISO 32 / 64 Bit

    They told me to give it a go and if there is any issues, i will be able to get a refund

    Are you sure that will work? I mean once i enter the product key, wouldn't that bind it to my motherboard? I'm running 8.1 on this computer at the moment.

    key


    The MXDiag report will only show whats on the system now >> your W8 code <<
    The code you bought should in that case be a Retail or System Builder.
    the MS error report shows it as OEM.
    If you want to PM me the last 5 digits i'll do some checking.

    Interesting as you say not showing as OEM anywhere.
    Can you run this script (it will show 2 keys), written by Superfly, W8 Activation expert
