Windows 7 Professional Product Key

A Windows product key is a 25-digit code that activates your copy of Windows.

It looks like this: XXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

You need a genuine product key to activate your Windows 7.

How to get a Windows 7 Professional product key

You must provide a genuine Windows 7 Professional product key to activate your copy. Microsoft must verify the authenticity of your product key before they activate your Windows.

There are two ways to get a Windows 7 product key:

• By purchasing an original copy of Windows 7 Professional. A genuine product will come along with it
• Using free product keys on this page to activate the operating system

The difference between the two methods is that the first one requires you to pay, whereas the second one is free.

Why are most product keys on the internet fake?

You’ve probably tried a few product keys on the internet only to find that they were not genuine.

But why is that so?

Well, many websites don’t update their Windows 7 product keys regularly. Using keys on these websites will not work for you. You need to find new keys that no one has used before.

The advantage of using Windows 7 Professional product keys from this post is that they are all unique. We update product keys every day, so you can be sure you will find a new working key any time you visit this post.

How a Windows 7 Professional Product Key Works

After installing Windows, it will prompt you to provide a product key. You have to provide the product key for Microsoft to activate your copy of Windows.

The Windows OS will ask you to enter a genuine product key during the installation process to activate Windows. You can also provide the product key in the activation wizard.

Windows will present two activation methods on your screen for you to choose from: using the internet and by phone. We’ll look at these two in this post.

If you don’t have an internet connection, choose the phone activation method.

You can use a different product key to install your Windows and change it later to activate the OS. Actually, you can change the product key anytime you choose to.

NOTE: Microsoft does not keep a record of purchased product keys. It is therefore essential to keep your product key where you can easily retrieve it after buying a genuine product.

Where to find your Windows product key

If you purchase the original Windows 7 Professional from a retailer, check inside the product box containing the product to find the product key.

If you buy the product from a retailer, ask them to provide you the product key.

If you buy a computer with pre-installed Windows, you should find the product key somewhere on a sticker.

If you buy the product online, you will receive the product key via the email you used while setting up your Microsoft account.

But if you download Windows 7 Professional or get a copy somewhere, you will need to find a product key.

It is always important to keep your product key safe. However, if you lose your product key, there is a way you can retrieve it. We’ll cover that method in this post as well.
