Hi all! I just built my AWESOME new gaming pc but I have no OS (I'm on my 3 year old laptop right now, and this is my first EVER own desktop I'm going to use). In this new computer I have a DVD writer/reader but it doesn't work, i.e it won't open even if all the power is on and the LED light is glowing green when I press it. Now, I've downloaded Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit in ISO form and going to (try :P) install it on my new pc from a USB. Here is my question; I don't have a product key for Windows 7 (other than the one on the bottom of this laptop) BUT I AM going to buy a key next time I get money. So can I install Windows 7 on the new pc, skip product key production and then buy a key from Microsoft's Online store in 2 weeks or so, (Is that even possible?) and then activate that so I use a "legal" copy of Windows 7?
Thanks :)
 
Just checking you downloaded a legal Windows 7 ISO and not a torrented one.

Download a legal copy for the version you want here:

You can then use the USB tool to create a bootable USB flashdrive with the ISO.

You can install Windows and use it unactivated for 30 days. After the 30 days, you will no longer be allowed to install other genuine Microsoft software or receive Windows Updates. You can still use it however. Once you activate it with a key you'll be able to do everything.
