    The following article from Microsoft explains why your product key will not work.

    Well if i try to preform a clean install from a fully updated and activated windows 7 SP1 and boot into the DVD i am prompted with a enter license key and if i choose skip i continue with the install and as it is copying files and etc... when it reboots i come to a complete black screen.

    You first have to upgrade Windows 7 SP1 to Windows 10. Your PC is then tied to Windows 10 and you'll be able to perform a clean install.

    Thats because the key you have is probably for your previous version of Windows. Windows 10 activates according to hardware, the key is generic.

    What is the best way of getting this to work then?

    Personally, I would just do a reset. Its pretty much the same thing.

    Otherwise I can provide you with a generic key when I get home.
