Hi All...
I just bought a second hand PC from an auction.It was advertised with "No operating system", so I am quite happy to organize a new, genuine OS if I need to.
The thing is, the box has a product key on it for W7pro..... I went to the MS site to download a copy of W7pro, entered the product key and got this........
Error
The product key you entered appears to be for software pre-installed by the device manufacturer. Please contact the device manufacturer for software recovery options.

I tried Dell support, they basically told me support(warranty) had expired and I could try the forums, so here I am.... my questions are:
Do I own the product key on my computer?
Can/How do I make it work?
