Hi @DRVR,

 

I'd like to help!

 

The Activation key is not required in order to reinstall Windows 7 ,just by using HP recovery tool you can download and install windows 7

 

The HP Cloud Recovery Tool allows you to download recovery software to a USB drive. You can use the downloaded recovery image file in order to install the Windows operating system. 

 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
