On those OEM versions that key is specific to the maker so if this was a Dell, that might work with the Dell copy but you elected to share so little detail that I have to go with "try it."

I just bought a backup computer that has windows 7 on it.The owner lost or never had a restore disc.I bought it anyway because he sold it to me very cheap.My question is if i ever need to reinstall the os can i borrow someone else's windows 7 installation disc to reinstall the os using the key codes of the computer or any other way? Thank you.
