I finally got the installation to finish but I forgot to write down/print the unlock code. I did save it though. I have it. I pushed "Next" and it worked. Windows 7 appeared. However this has me worried. I figure I should still unlock it since I have the key. Is there a way to bring back up the unlock option?

Do you mean Activation? You have the 25digit code? If so, I think it's Control Panel/System & Maintenance/System, on the bottom you will see "Activate Windows Now"...click on it and follow the prompts (I assume you're online!)
