hmm i could try this. i already did it to lenovo and they told me to eat a dick bascially. customer service in NZ is nothing liek the US of A

windows 7 on prebuilt things don't use those keys on the stickers.

they have what is basically a bios flag, and then there's a pre-installed image from lenovo or whoever that embeds their key. activation just matches the bios flag with the key, and if it matches, you're good to go.

So what you can do is install from retail disk, somehow obtain the lenovo key, and it will work
