rdwray,
Not always with an OEM computer. Unless you activated with the COA key, it may only be the manufacturer's SLP key that it was activated by instead. You will not be able to activate with the SLP key.

Brink,
I used Belarc Advisor to obtain the Product Key and then used Windows7.PID.KEY.CHECKER.v.1.0.1 to obtain the screen shot:
rdway,
That looks like a Dell OEM. If the last 4 characters of the Product Key end with RMV82 then Brinks advice applies : in other words, it is the OEM_SLP key and cannot be used to activate any installation.

The screenshot you provided also confirms License Type: OEM:SLP
Thanks everyone, I finally found a sticker under my battery with the COA and, as Brink said, it is different from the SLP.
Hello
At the weekend I built a (mostly) new PC, and used my old harddrive which had windows 7 pro (retail) intalled on it. After starting up, I entered a reboot loop which startup repair cannot fix. Would I be able to do a repair install using my old computer which is still intact other than hard-drives and then move it across to the new one, or would that not solve anything. I have other questions too, but I'm not sure they belong in this thread, though I thought my startup repair question would best fit here.
Hello Clawtooth, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Sorry, but a repair install would not work like that.
You might see if this may be able to help instead.

Hope this helps, :)

Does this fixes rpcrtremote.dll errors at startup?
