I have a question, did anyone get a cd for windows with their laptop? and how about the product key where do we find it?

You generally will not get a windows cd with most new systems. The os should be fully functional out of the box. The office program is a trial and you will need to purchase a key or you can download a free word processing program such as open office or similar

My lap top did not come with a disk. The Windows operating system already came pre installed on the laptop. Are you possibly looking for a product key for Microsoft Office? Because that is not included. However, if the computer is asking for a product key for the OS, you may have gotten a defective system.

Mine came with Windows 7 Professional installed. No discs. So I attempted to make my own Windows Recovery discs, and discovered the optical drive would read and write to CD, but DVD was read-only. Contacted seller who is mailing me a replacement optical drive.

Good question! I did not do that type of installation. I know there is a disc that came with it, but I did not need to use it for windows installation. I would try and ask the vendor selling this item if they can answer it for you.

That is a disk that you install, I'm sure if you look you can find a product key to purchase for an immediate download. Hope this helps.

No, the cd I ordered installed without a problem. Are you running Windows 7 64 bit? I think I had to get a patch because I have 64 not 32 bits. Check that out.

My drive does have software with it, on the drive and not on a separate CD. However, my Windows Vista and Windows 7 computers found the drive without difficulty when I hooked it up with the USB cable. I often have to use the Windows fix: shut off everything, unplug it, wait a minute, plug everything in, and turn it on.

You have to have a driver disk,it should have come with your PC or laptop,only way you can download it

I think you need to go to microsofts website. You can probably download windows for free, it's the activation code on the sticker on the bottom of the computer that you are paying for. As long as it's the same computer, I think the code should work.

I had no problem at all installing the drive . My problem came in when I installed my copy of Windows 7 and the old drive contained the Old Windows XP ops system. So I started getting statements that my Ops System might be counterfeit. So I spent $67.00 and ordered a full Win 7 Professional and everything is great now. Sorry I could not be of more help.Travis

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.

Legally when you buy a computer with an OS you have to include the disc. It sounds like what you need is a custom built PC.

HI, I'm not sure where you'd find the driver. When I put it into Win 7 it just searched and found the driver when I plugged it in before I could even put the cd inI would suggest calling their tech support to see if the post it online

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.

I think the problem here is your installation file. I installed through usb boots. Download the file at microsoft website, then install and then buy the key

You can download it directly from their website using the Code/Key provided on the program's box that you purchase. Although I have a CD-rom on my laptop, the disk wouldn't load, so I had to download it from their website which proved successful.

Mine came with a SAMPLE, after a certain amount of time you got to BUY it. As most computers I bought had over the years. I started off with Windows 98SE. Mine at least came with the Win. 8.1 Already Installed. (Although I bought from DIG JUNGLE, so not sure what this seller has). I got the CD/DVD Drive FIXED by Dell Now I am Loving my Purple Animal.
