Thinkpad T430s. It's a year old so I'm in the clear upon more detailed reading of the article. I usually do a clean install but when I bought this box it came installed with Win 7 and the discs I got were Win 8 only. Didn't come with a Win 7 serial. This is what I get for buying from a reseller on Amazon.

You cannot use the keys on any other ISO. This is also a big problem - you cant download these ISOs (unless some *rrentbay) and Lenovo does not give you CDs readily.
