I have a laptop today but I do not know what Windows is on it. I can't log in because I do not know the password.
The only thing I have is the product key on the back of the laptop. The laptop belonged to a deceased friend of my mother, he has inherited all his possessions to my mother.
Is there a way to reinstall Windows? I only have the product key and I do not know what Windows is on it.
Just install the HomeVersion and it's good. Is in 95% of the installation so… Takes only 10 minutes anyway.

On the sticker is also the Windows version on it. If it is Windows 7, then you can download the Win7 ISO file here and thus create a bootable DVD or USB stick and reinstall Windows 7.
Thanks. On the back is only product key and including Microsoft. For example, if I have a key for Windows 8 and then download Windows 7, does the key go anyway?
Thanks. I do not know if the key works for that? If the key goes anyway, if I have, for example, the key for Windows 8 but enter it in Windows Home Version

Yes… Need the installation you need only click: I have no product key
This is how the original stickers look, always with an indication of the operating system - otherwise it would not make sense:

For example, if I have a key for Windows 8 and then download Windows 7,
No. You can't download the Windows 7 ISO without a valid Windows 7 product key, a Win 8 key will not work with Windows 7.
And why do not you then install Windows 8?
