    Vijay,

     

    A Dell computer can reinstall the operating system that came installed on it. Using a Dell OEM disk, the computer will install the system WITHOUT asking for a product key.

     

    There was a period where Dell offered Windows 7 upgrades, from Vista. The upgrades had a product key that you used. The product key could only be used once, and then it was not good on any other computer.

     

    If you need a Dell OEM Operating system disk, if in the United States, Request Backup Disks USA If in another Country, contact Dell Tech Support in your Country.

    pranitaC,

     

    Using a Dell OEM operating system disk, you usually do not need a product key. If you have a product key, under the battery compartment, then go to

     

    Start, control panel, system. I think there you can enter your product key number.

    See my wiki list link below. In particular look at the Microsoft Downloads wiki and A Clean install of Windows 7/Windows Vista.

    Get the correct .iso and use your product key with it.

    dear  Rick

    thanks for your detail help but as you said in your last repaly that i will found the change key option

    but in my lap i do not find such things it mention windows activated : product key  xxxx OEM xxx cxxxx like this ( example) is coming & no option chage the key

    the biggest draw back is that dell has not supplied the win 7 media along with lap & they know taht i paid for the license copy of it

    pl. help if you can suggest how to change it

    rather than reinstalling it again

    Br

    Vijay

    I'm not sure (this has never happened to me)...

    As I do not know where you got your media from; I was assuming that maybe you have downloaded a dodgy/cracked version from a torrent or something.

    Therefore the best course of action would be a clean install with legitimate media. It will likely be more secure also.
