Windows 7 or 8 Key Needed
I have a family I am refurbishing an old computer for.
I have run out of legit keys and want to help them but can't really throw money at this problem.
Does anyone have a spare Windows 8 or 7 Home edition they are not using?
It would be very appreciated. You would also be helping a family in need.
Thanks in advance.Rumble

Re: Windows 7 or 8 Key Needed
Just a quick bump.
I have the computer cleaned out. I upgraded the ram and hard drive.
The family I want to give it to for Christmas could really use it. They wouldn't know what to do with Linux, so free OS's are out.
Can anyone help?
Thanks again everyone.Rumble

I just figured if someone was throwing out an old dell or hp or something that had a cd key on the case they could send me it. I’m not asking anyone to buy one or anything

Re: Windows 7 or 8 Key Needed
Windows 8 keys were embedded in the bios of pre-built systems. So your likely to not get anything there.
Windows 7 keys were still stuck to the outside of computers, however the keys are tied to specific windows installation discs. Each manufacturer had a particular version of windows 7 disc you had to use with the key.
I don't have any I can give you, but if you do get a win 7 key from an OEM machine, make sure you know what version of win 7 it is for and when OEM the machine came from. Then you have to seek out the correct version of win 7 to get it to install.-- Intentionally Left Blank --

Re: Windows 7 or 8 Key Needed
I have had good luck installing Windows 7 and 8 with a flash drive I created that let’s me pick the particular version (home, Pro, etc) with the case sticker installation id. So I just have to find someone ditching an old windows 7 or 8 machine who can shoot me the id.
