installing windows 7 pro on Dell Laptop
Dear forum members.
I own a dell laptop E6410 which I purchased second hand
The hard drive had been wiped
I tried to download a copy of windows 7 from the microsoft site by putting in the product key that is on the laptop sticker. but I got a message saying this is a OEM version that was pre-installed on the computer : in a nutshell it wouldnt let me download windows 7. It said to contact the company that made the laptop.
I would like a legal installation on my laptop but suspect it might be dear to buy one from dell, assuming that it is available
Please can anyone advise : do they know of a download anywhere of a version that can be installed on my laptop with my product key: By the way the OS is Win 7 Pro and it says x15-53895 on the sticker.
Any advice would be appreciated thank you. Ian
