How to install OEM windows 7?

[razak3l]

First of all is OEM same as ''original''? And how you install it any tutorial? Do I download one off Microsofts website or anything? Last time I tried Microsoft was asking for the key, I put in the OEM one and it didn't let me so I suppose the key was wrong or whatever? Halp!

When I put in my Windows 10 OEM key I had to contact customer support and the person who I talked to remote controlled my pc and fixed it.

I'm totally not doing that.

Its ur preference but the person from customer support can't see your background, items on your desktop and non-windows files and you can disconnect him if you don't like what he is doing

What do you have, a product key or a disc?

Product key

You can't get an OEM ISO, just a retail copy. Install that and activate by phone (not by calling customer support, just the activation wizard), preferably your cell phone. They'll text you a link and hey presto.

 

I'm not going to tell you where to get an ISO, but I reckon you're "creative" enough to get one. It's not illegal if it's an untouched ISO and your key is legit.

 

One warning though: if you're running Skylake, you're gonna have a bad time installing 7. Use the tool your motherboard manufacturer supplied for that instead, and verify your install image is at least SP1.
