Is it possible to read the Windows 7 DVD which came with the tablet to get the product key?
Unfortunately, I have misplaced the paper on which I wrote the product key down on and don't have an external hard drive to read the Win & disk (to reinstall) which came with the computer. I have used an ISO.
Thanks
Harold

There`s no key on a windows 7 dvd. Call the manufacturer of the tablet, explain everything, they may give you a key.
So how did you install with the iso then ?
No COA on this tablet ?

This is probably the longest I've ever had a Windows machine run without having to restore it to scratch. I'm used to restoring to "factory" about every 2 yrs. I've run with Win7 since new in 2009 and only recently (Nov, '14) restored to clean up the machine from all my 'xperimenting. LOL!! I may never need another machine.

Upgraded to 10 when it was still free, then installed 2017 update.
You said that Lenovo provided a Reinstallation DVD with Win7 for the OS? This should self-activate when used to reinstall.

However if Win7 came on that PC then it should have the COA sticker affixed to the laptop with the Product Key to use to activate it when using your own reinstallation media.

Since we don't know what else was done wrong I'd start over and follow the steps to do a Clean Reinstall Windows 7
