Hey there 😁

So, it’s me again... please don't laugh, I am officially a total tech failure 🤣

I went ahead and installed Windows 7—just the Home Basic version 🙂—and everything seemed to be going smoothly, until it asked for a product key. And well, thank God, because I have absolutely no clue what that is or where on earth I'm supposed to find it 🤣>

I actually used a disc from a friend to get Windows 7 set up. He's just as clueless about technology as I am, so he doesn't even know how he managed to get it activated in the first place. He probably just stumbled upon some random key online or something. Honestly, I haven't the slightest idea 😁>

So, if anyone could walk me through where to look for this thing, I'd really appreciate it. It seems like everyone here knows way more about this stuff than I ever will 😁

I've already tried typing in a few different keys I found while searching online, but it either tells me they're incorrect or says that Microsoft has blocked the key ☕>

okay 😁 thanks so much 🙂

So... a friend told me I could just borrow a disc with the sedmica on it, and he was acting like I wouldn't need to wipe anything or break any existing setups—just run the installer like I would with any other regular program. That’s how he handled it, at least. :S
I'm feeling a bit lost now. Is it actually possible to do it exactly the way he described?

hey there 😁

So... I've been sitting here thinking about finally pulling the trigger on installing Windows 7, but I'm feeling a bit anxious about the whole thing. My main worry is losing everything—you know, all my music, photos, movies, and those little digital bits that make up a life 😕
Most of my stuff is tucked away on my E drive, but even then, a part of me is still uneasy..🤷

If anyone out there knows their way around this, could you walk me through what I should do? Is it actually safe to assume that everything sitting on that E drive will stay perfectly intact after a full system wipe and a fresh installation of Windows 7?
Thanks in advance 🙏
