I work for an auto group and normally we have a few system images to use when we get new computers in, and they work for the most part (hence the "few" bit) but.....
We just got in 5 new Lenovo's, and they all have Windows 7 Pro preinstalled with Windows 8 Recovery discs, as there is no longer a CoA on the case, I used Produkey to pull the windows key from the systems, they are all the same and will not activate with the win7 OEM discs we have from Newegg, I believe that there is a windows 7 key and a windows 8 key in the BIOS, what version of windows 7 can pull the key from the BIOS and use it for activation, besides spending the time trying to clean the already installed version of windows and configuring it... cause there is all kinds of crap installed.
