• Anyone have a spare Windows 7 product key?
    27 replies, posted
I bought some parts for my new build but I don't have enough money for windows. Now correct me if I'm wrong but the boxed retail versions of windows 7 have unlimited use of their product keys on any computer. I don't mean to beg, but if anyone has any retail versions of windows 7 lying around, could I use the product key? Mods: If this is against the forum rules, please tell me.

Trial version until you have the dough.
find some good Linux distros Or just use a trial
Just use the trial, I don't know what's different except genuine things and annoying activation reminders at startup [editline]3rd December 2010[/editline] Didn't mean to rate myself, accidents happen on iphones

"does anyone have 100€ to give me without any reason ?" You can get up to 120 days of Win7 trial with slmgr /rearm
I can give you a MSDN key for Windows 7 Ultimate if you are willing to give something else in return :colbert:

you'r probably not gonna get a spare win7 key. that stuff is expensive!
[QUOTE=Tactics;26466594]Linux is worse than mac. Not a good idea in my opinion.[/QUOTE] It's getting increasingly user friendly by the day. It's excellent for a free OS, though if he's building the computer for the purpose of gaming, it's not worth going with Linux.

Note; A retail license allows you to install Windows 7 on one PC at any one time. As such if you have multiple PC's you need multiple licenses.

Willing to trade you a upgrade key for your computer! even willing to show you how to do a fresh install with it!
Just buy it for fucks sake.
Install Ubuntu or Linux on it until you can afford windows.
