    You can borrow the exact same edition of Windows 7 Retail DVD and use your Product Key on the COA sticker to reinstall the operating system.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Or you can use this for preinstalled OEM or Retail Licenses. This is on a first come, first served weekly basis.

    Download the correct ISO file and make your own disk and use the Product Key that is on the Refurbished COA Sticker. This is on a first come, first served weekly basis.

    Download: Windows ISO Downloader.exe

    And here are instructions on how to burn ISO images to disk:

    You change the Boot Order in the BIOS to be able to boot from your installation media:

    Then do a clean install:

    Using the downloaded ISO file Method may require phone Activation.

    It may require that you use phone Activation.

    The above method also will require you to go to your Computer Manufacturer's website > Support and Downloads Section > locate your Model Number and Operating System > then download and install the latest Drivers for it.
