Buy it from Microsoft's site.

We aren't allowed to give out product keys for free, you can only find a product key by buying it.

UPDATE: I don't think there's a Win7 product key in Microsoft's site since Win7's support ended on Jan 14, 2020.

As I already stated:

If you have to use Phone Activation, read this detailed information about using that method:

There are NO product keys to give out.

It's not just date and time.

See if this assists you:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/10738/windows-10-get-help-with-activation-errors

Applies to: Windows 10Windows 7Windows 8.1

0x80072F8F

You might see this error if the date and time for the PC is incorrect, or Windows has trouble connecting to the online activation service and can't verify your product key. To verify date and time, select the Start button, then select Settings > Time & language > Date & time. To check your Internet connection: <ol><li>Type network troubleshooter in the search box on the taskbar, then select Identify and repair network problems.</li><li>Follow the instructions to fix any problems with the network.</li></ol> If the network troubleshooter didn't find any problems with your network connection, try restarting your PC to see if that fixes the problem.

If that is not it:

Contact Microsoft:

Activate Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 - Windows Help - Microsoft Support

When you begin activation, Windows will try to use your Internet connection to activate online. If you have problems activating online, you can activate using the phone.

Answer 5

Microsoft has not sold 7 for many years!

It is nothing to do with End of Support; it is part of Microsoft Policy for a time limit about sales once a new operating system is released.

For 3rd party sites:

Warning:

You do not buy a Product Key by itself, as they are normally stolen/pirated, Volume Licenses which are not for private use, or MSDN keys which are not to be sold by the original subscription holder.

Make sure that you buy the complete sealed package (DVD, license)
