    I downloaded Windows 7 Pro -- even paid for the backp DVDs.  Neither the download nor the DVDs tell me what the product key is.  How am I supposed to activate?  Why is this even necessary -- first install from a purchase on your web site.

    I don't have access to that email account, but it turns out that you can just log in to your MicrosoftStore account and they have it all available for you there.

    Check your receipt, (hope you printed it) and your confirmation email (check your spam box if necessary). I hope you saved some sort of documentation that you can contact MS store with. Good luck.

    The Product Key should have been in the confirmation email that
    provided you the link from which to download the ISO.
