What you want to do is go to this link:
https://gist.github.com/eyecatchup/d577a2628666a0ad1375/raw/4c452f8419e52e177e9438be54fbf14bf5632761/get-win7-productkey.vbs

And save the page as: get-win7-productkey.vbs
MAKE SURE IT ENDS IN .VBS AND NOT .TXT

Double click the file to run it on your desktop / where you saved it and it will give you your WINDOWS 7 ONLY PRODUCT KEY.

This key will not work for windows 10, you need to install windows 7 then upgrade.
