![]() If your OEM computer or self built computer is not supposed to have 7 on it (no matching SLIC hash in the bios), these disc won't activate and you will have to use a working product key. The disc you create will only work on the computers which it's supposed to, so it's not hacking/cracking by any means. If it can't find one on it's own, you can insert a Windows disc (burn the iso you downloaded if you have to) and it will extract it for you. IB will prompt you that they detect it is a bootable disc (operating system) and will ask you to provide an boot image. Drop that file into the sources director of the extracted ISO, then reburn using Image Burn. Then download the correct OEM Source Folder for your PC's manufacturer. Unzip that iso you downloaded from Digital River. ![]() Rather than screw around backing up the activation, just make your own 'official' Dell restore disc. If you try to use another product key, say the one on the sticker, then try to reuse that activation backup, it will fail. In this case, running a program that will backup your activation, it will grab the generic key that's used in mass on that brand PC's. Those files match the file hash that's stored in the motherboards BIOS. The activation is instead done by having a couple files buried in the Windows system folder. Instead, they use a generic, non-activatable, key that Microsoft gives them. HP doesn't have time to type in that key for every single computer they use. The sticker on the side has a product key but that's just because it's a unique number generated by Microsoft.
