I went ahead and set all of my Windows 7 to the same key, I could do this due to our key working for all of these version. This fixed my Issue about not being able to image on Windows 7 Just select the number for example 19 Then copy and paste your product key. It will be saved as the congratulation for either globe or local whatever you selected.
