If you go to microsoft.com you can download the Win7 ISO but they won't let you without the key. I'm assuming that is the route he is trying to take. So without a valid key no download. Oh, and it has to be a retail key not an OEM key. I can think of a bunch of ways to get around that. There are many sources for the win7 ISO if you know where to look.

Burnaware Free, ImgBurn etc will do the trick assuming you have a retail disc.

 
I haven’t done this for a couple of years now but I used to use OEM keys with a generic Windows 7 install all the time. It would not activate over the Internet but it would activate via phone activation. Sometimes the phone activation was automatic. Every once in a while a live agent would come on and ask how many copies of Windows I had using this key.
Using this you have to have a product key that windows accepts before you can download the ISO program.,
So far none I have tried have worked but that's not from the laptop with the win 7 key. That might work.

As soon as I clicked on the win 7 ultimate link my antivirus jumped all over it. Doesn't like it at all so anything like that I'll do from the ThinkPad. Worst comes to worst I can get my son to bring in the portable 3 1/2 floppy drive and the win 98 discs and put 98 on the laptop. I have win 95 on discs but I don't have a 5 1/4 drive that will work with a modern laptop. A Vic 20 yes but I'm not too sure if they will connect.
 
i posted a plethora of keys above. click on the link they show about 20 at least

If they are in the win 7 ultimate etc. link when I click on it I get a "secure connection failed" message and my anti virus blocks it. Says "Website blocked due to fraud" I've also tried some of those sites like this
either they set off my antivirus for various reasons or all the keys I've used so far have not been accepted.
 
how does copying a key give you a virus alert? Or you get the virus alert by clicking on the link?

As soon as I opened this thread a window opens up from my antivirus saying "website blocked due to fraud." Has something to do with iproductkeys. I don't have to copy the key or click the link. If I open the link I get this.
"Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to iproductkeys.com. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Didn't happen before the link was posted.
I'm running Malwarebytes Premium 4.3....it works.
 
Thanks to the guys who PM'd me some keys. The one Laristotle sent worked, I did up an iso dvd and installed win 7 on the laptop this morning. Just finished putting most of the drivers on a usb and now to install some so I can go online with it. It's a good thing it's -20 something degrees out there and snowing.
 
Weird, i just click on the link again and nothing is telling me there is a problem
