    Hi,


    I've got a slight problem I run a mac, how ever i need to install windows I can do this through something known as boot camp.

    There is a windows 7 disk in my house, its activated to my dads pc. But I'm wondering if I install windows and then it asks me for an activation key is there the option for me to bye a new activation key when windows is installed?


    thanks

    You can install without a key and use it on trial for 30 days (120 days if you rearm the activation 3 times). You can then buy a key however you want in your own time. Supplies of Win 7 keys have dried up since the release of Win 8 though.
