    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

    - Download the Win 7 SP1 OEM iso - With the MS iso downloader (downloader) and download your OEM win 7 Pro.
    Use the COA key to install / activate. The Key is 5 fields with 5 numbers & letters.

    Dear Sir
    Thank you for your kind reply.
    I have tried the iso downloader you kindly provided the link to
    Win 7 OEM iso, but when I chose the "win 7 " bullet on the right hand side it simply blanked out the whole page and nothing happened.
    Please have you any further suggestion?
    Best wishes
