I recently borrowed a windows 7 disk from a friend of mine. I wanted to wipe my hard drive clean because my laptop was getting slow from all my downloads. I popped in the CD and all was working fine. I got to the window where it asks me for my product key. I look on the bottom of my laptop, enter the key and press next. A pop up then comes up saying
"Product key does not match current Windows SKU." I have no idea what this means.
I used to wipe my computer clean all the time on my desktop (windows xp) with no problem.
Please can someone help me
thanks in advance, Justin

The product key on the bottom of teh computer is for Windows.
Most likely your computer came with a free trial of Office and you'll need to buy the full version. If you bought the full version then the key is on the back of the CD case.
You can also use Open Office. It's free and legal from openoffice.org and is compatible with MS Office.
