Default Need computer help

Looks like my HDD has died, windows won't fully load, can't get to login screen. I'm certain it's the HDD, as I've had warnings of its pending demise.

Anyway, the good thing is, every thing important is backed up on SSD's. The bad news is, I can't find my windows 7 CD, it probably got thrown away. So I don't have the CD key or disk, and I need those to do a fresh install on to my new SSD.

I'm considering downloading a pirated copy of windows 7 on a separate computer and writing it to a disk or jump drive if that will work? Id prefer to do this another a more legitimate way, but I can't figure it out.

If your copy of Windows is legit and registered, you should be able to download a new OEM copy from Microsoft. (Or a Windows 10 upgrade copy. That would work) And Windows 10 upgrades don't require a key, just a registered earlier version. Or that's how it was, maybe it changed.

edit: Win 10 may require a generic key to install. (Won't register, but it will get it up and running) Should be able to find one online for whatever build you have. Same with Windows 7.

Why dont you spend 100 bucks on a legit copy of windows 10 and register it properly?

also you dont use SSD for backups they are unreliable, are you poor or something?

your asking for computer help to pirate windows, someone ban this dirt poor idiot
Uses the wrong *you're, but calls someone else who is just asking for advice an idiot. Seems legit.

Says the guy with 142 posts in less than a month.

I did end up buying a copy of windows 10 today, I just didn't want to spend the money on something I already bought.
