Default Windows 7 RC Key?!

Is there anyway to get another one still? I've got copies of win7 on disks and the iso image still. Friend just wants to try it out on his pc since he's getting a new Hdd.

Yes, no? or maybe someone wants to be real nice and lend me one? I could make a signature or something in return






Thanks

No, they're not still available. I can give you an unused 32-bit key, and possibly an unued 64-bit key (not sure if it's used or not though, but should still work.) Would be interested in the signature?

the Windows 7 RC key can be posted on the forum
It is not illegal or anything
I'm pretty sure I have one I never used as well
If all else fails I'll find it (its in one of my many text files) and post it

You couldn't find one on a Microsoft search?
They might just give you one if you contact them
The OS may only work for a few days though

32bit and 64bit keys are essentially the same; 32bit key can be used with a 64bit disc, and vice versa. This has been able to be done since Vista.

Actually the RC 7100 expires on June 1, 2010, but starting on March 1 it shuts down every 2 hours.

He worked his way up to be an Admin . He started off as a normal member and earned his position. He's also made sure to contribute a ton to the site.

Yes this is correct. I said March cause as of then people are going to start to ask why their PC restarts every 2 hours and it is just easier to give the heads up now, rather than try to explain it later. No one will want to keep the RC if it auto restarts every 2 hours.

Even with that being posted, I can GUARANTEE that there WILL be threads about how it's shutting down every 2 hours. If I don't remember about it, I'll be posting thinking it's hardware related.
