    It's the OEM version? So did it not come with a key installed, or a key under the bottom of the laptop that you can enter and then activate online or via the phone?

    Well, I downloaded win 7 and needed to use a key. The download description in the forum said it's OEM version. And no, I had no windows preinstalled when purchasing the laptop (if that's what you mean).

    It's probably a version of Windows 7 bundled with updates and with the loader added, but as it's a UEFI system the loader will exit when installing Windows.
