Windows costs a lot, but there are tutorials showing how to install it from a USB drive. You don’t necessarily need a system key if you already have a laptop with Windows 7 installed. You can transfer the necessary files and make it bootable, then use that method instead of relying on the original key.

I received it via DreamSpark, which is completely free and gives you a key. The items shown there might not need keys, but that doesn’t confirm legitimacy. Updates should resolve this issue.

The device runs with a factory-issued license that stays linked to the mainboard forever

There are options to obtain it without cost. But we won’t assist with that, since it violates the law (unless you receive an official copy)

You require a product key for installation via USB...the USB device simply acts as a replacement for CD/DVD. There’s also no indication that this method won’t function with Windows files.

DreamSpark by Microsoft needs an .edu email from your school, which your institution should supply to you.

If they don't require an activation key, it's a pirated version and against the law. Additionally, your laptop is an original equipment manufacturer product and must be used with that specific device; changing the key wouldn't work on another machine. To get genuine Windows, you'll need to purchase it: https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwa..._7_server/

Installing Windows from a USB still requires activation via a physical key. You can't simply copy Windows from another device and run it on another PC. Each system needs its own activation code, or only one copy will function properly at any given time.

It's smarter to purchase an official Windows version. The unofficial copies are just not worth it.
