Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
What brand computer is it and what operating system was on it originally ?
Is there a sticker showing what was installed ?
No there are no offers, windows 7 is 7 years old.
As Mike suggests just reinstall the OS that came with the computer and activate it with key on the COA.
We will gladly help you.
Windows 7 is no longer available from it's primary source Microsoft, because of this there are only an extremely limited supply - therefore the price is now a premium - budget from $150 US upwards. Also the only supply of a Key only was the anytime upgrade from Microsoft - these are no longer available so any offer of a key only is almost certainly an illegal copy. Yo may find it cheaper to purchase a refurbished business system with windows 7 installed (this like a majority of Windows 7 copies in existence will be an OEM copy so cannot be used with any other hardware to that it was sold with). Valid legal Retail copies of windows 7 are rare in the currebnt market and extremly expensive
$150 Is too much for me now. so what should if I use it product key this way without activation is it harmful for my pc?

After 30 days using the software is illegal, it's basically classed as theft, functionality will be reduced and help will not be available here
