Can someone tell me if this version of windows 7 will work on my laptop. I have to reinstall the OS and the manufacture wants to charge me 200.00 to install the os and look into it. I am not going to windows 8. I do not like windows 8.

Where is your Discs?

You should have a license sticker on the bottom.

I have the key sticker attached to the bottom of the computer. For some reason on the first boot, It never gave me a option to make a repair disk. I also looked at the partitions of the hard drives and it comes up with 25 gb free not partitioned. Someone said to hit f9 or some other f key to bring up the asus recovery tool but it dose not seem to find the partition.

Hey, you should be able to DL the iso rather then buy another license.

That is what I was thinking.

Thanks guys will try that first.

TECHNICALLY, yes it will work. The DVD installer won't care... Your best bet to do it the cheap way is to find the right disk for the key already bound to your hardware, wether it's an ISO or physical disk. The the COA sticker on the bottom, it should tell you which version disk to use.

LEGALLY, no it won't... Licensing on that disk prohibits installation because it's not installed by a system builder, aka OEM. To properly license you/your computer, you will probably need to buy a retail box version or full license copy.

The licensing system in place is so convoluted and ass backwards you practically need to speak legalese to understand all of it.
