Lost my Win7 OS Recovery Disk, how do I use my coa serial with an ISO?

[wildgoat]

Is this even legal to do? I'm currently in India and cannot get the disk shipped here for obvious reasons. HP India does not have the recovery disks and suggested I contact HP USA. HP USA said that they cannot ship to India.

I know how to burn an iso and install the OS but the greater issue is how do I validate my windows my key mentioned on the windows coa sticker?

Has anybody done this? If yes how do I proceed? Thanks!

What is the licensed version on COA sticker? Do you have an ISO file yet?

Reinstalling Windows 7 to get a perfect Factory OEM reinstall.
