    No, product ID is not the same as activation key.

    If Windows came with your computer, you should have a product key on a sticker or leaflet. This key can be used to reinstall the same version and channel of Windows onto the same PC.

    Alternatively you can find the key using something like Jelly Bean keyfinder.

    If you download Windows 7 make sure to get it from a legit MS source.
