You received a Windows 7 Home Premium for refurbished PCs, which likely means it’s not fully functional or comes with restrictions. The note about the refurbisher pre-installing software suggests the system may be incomplete or require additional setup. The requirement to have software already installed implies you can’t just install it and expect full functionality. To play games, you’ll probably need to download DOSBox or Steam, then install the games there.
Moved to OSes and Software. If it doesn't come with a disc, that may explain why it says the software needs to be installed on the system already. The key itself should work just fine.
the disk includes a premium unit, and the documentation mentions a specific license for refurbished PCs. you’ll likely need to install the software on your system after acquiring the build file. Steam isn’t required unless you’re using it as a distribution method.
Do you own a computer that allows you to put in a disc and start from there to check the available options?
I haven't worked with tools for refurbished setups, so I can't confirm it exactly, but it should behave similarly to a standard W7 installation.
