cd requirement
About this tag
The tag 'cd requirement' covers discussions about Windows 7 installation requiring a physical CD, even when a valid license key is already available. Users report being prompted to insert a CD to complete installation to a bootable hard drive, raising questions about why the key alone is insufficient. This tag is relevant for troubleshooting installation media requirements and understanding Microsoft's activation or setup processes for legacy Windows versions.
I would like to complete the installation of Windows 7 to a bootable hard drive but am being told I need a CD in order to do this.
Why would this be as I already have a license key for for a genuine version of Windows?
Thanks so much.
