Hello.
I need your support about a problem with the activation of Windows 7 Home Premium N.
I have a Samsung laptop with a pre-installed windows 7 Home that needed a repair. The self repair gone completely wrong and bricked my laptop, so I formatted my pc and wanted to download a fresh Windows 7 Install Disk from Microsoft (Download Windows 7 Disc Images (ISO Files)).
The problem is that Microsoft doesn't allow me to download the Windows 7 using the laptop's Windows 7 registration number that came with the laptop, it says to contact the manufacturer (Samsung):

"Error
The product key you entered appears to be for software pre-installed by the device manufacturer. Please contact the device manufacturer for software recovery options."

The manufacturer doesn't have any option... I need the PC up as soon as possible so I searched the internet and found an image of Windows 7 Home Premium N with Service Pack 1. But after the installation during the activation I got a message that says the key doesn't match current Windows SKU, possibly because its not the same exact version of Windows Home that was pre-installed by the manufacturer.

Please help me activate my Windows! I need to install a lot of software but before I need to be sure that I will be able to continue with this version of Windows.
