it should have all ready been installed, the key is on the side of the computer.

Be careful, the one I bought had code that only worked for a few weeks, they wouldn't give me a valid key after purchase either. The price does not guarentee it comes with a activation key, you may have to purchase that from microsoft later.

Hi I just checked my mail : CH Products In my experience thus far has out of the Box worked w/every OS I have had most recent PC-Win Ultimate 7. This said, It should work fine. We all know that there are exceptions to every rule. This is "Y" They created Technical Support. 'Nuff said here. Best Flying. Scott ~

Gerry: I've got it installed on WINDOWS 7...but never use it. I'm using it on my WINDOWS XP (another computer) and it works just fine. I've had problems installing on "7"....and if that's the only thing you have.....good luck. I was just patient and kept at it after "7" was telling me to forgot it. But I did get a correct install.

Yes it did come with a product code but, be aware, that this OS is for primary use on a PC that has had no operating system such as one made from individual parts and not one from a PC manufacturer(Dell, HP, Acer, etc). Microsoft does not and will not provide any assistance or support on the installation & use of the purchased product.

Your best bet is to contact Microsoft and ask them to find your product key, with the receipt you should have enough info so MS could find your product key.

No product activation code provided. Amazon TOTALLY unhelpful. Advise me to a) look on the CD case (duh) or b) call Microsoft! Would NOT PURCHASE ANY SOFTWARE FROM THESE CLOWNS. I am trying to get my money refunded.

The one I received I had them upgrade it to Windows 7 64 bit version. ( they did it for free). Windows 7 runs nice on this computer. Windows 7 is so much better and faster I think then Vista so try to get one with windows 7.

Hi Really depends on the age of your machine. This version is for system builders, meaning you'd have to wipe windows xp and install win7 fresh. This won't upgrade an existing windows installation. If your machine is older than 4 years, I'd suggest a new machine. The install took 15gb of my hard disk

NO PROBLEM! Though on a side note, I have had better luck using the windows update drivers for these things than the provided software. fwiw

I have Toshiba Satellite L455 64bit windows 7 CLickFree has not worked since day one. No response from support. Save a lot of headache and just get a good drive to back up and use windows 7 backup.

Jeff, who was the dealer you bought this computer from? I bought my piece of crap from CravingSavings. I called him and he told me I need a new hard drive. I had no way of getting the computer back to him so he sent me a new hard drive, which I had to install myself! Since thenm, I have had nothing but problems, it wasn't just the hard drive. There is so much garbage on the computer itself which was never cleaned off. Recently I had to call someone to fix it, because it froze on me and would not work at all. I wish I had the knowledge to help you with your problem....all I have to suggest is you contact the seller! Good luck I hope this helps!

The one I ordered was windows 7 Home premium Ultimate 64-bit with a version of Microsoft Office trial that does not expire, but if you update windows you have to delete the new version to keep using......I am very satisfied with this laptop, I electronics technician by trade. I have not had any complaints other than the onboard video card. As long as you are not gaming it is fine just don't like that I cant have my icons smaller with the 1366x768 limitation. plenty of speed and storage, also boots crazy fast. Even with the large amount of programs I have on it. Hope this helps.............

It absolutely did NOT work for mine, and I tried to use it on other computers with W7 with no luck. Also, if it doesn't work, this company will harass you nonstop for a negative review. I would strongly recommend not wasting your time and money. :o\

You would need a valid (unused) Windows 7 key, so most likely you'd need to buy a copy. I just did this, there are a few changes you need to make in bios to get it to install, too.

My concern was to get Windows 7, 64 bit. As far as the rest, I don't really know, but I have downloaded for free anything I have wanted to add.
