You're too late, now you're stuck with Windows 7. The upgrade program ended Friday in all parts of the world.

The free upgrade program ended yesterday.

You can try your luck.

To quote MS, "the rollout is hard to reverse, so not all regions or locations may see it end at the stated time, though of course no guarantees apply to whether an upgrade will work".

Up to you. Realistically, you've probably missed your window of opportunity.

2 problems:

1. The free Upgrade ran out yesterday.

2. "I bought a key from a website for windows 7"
Unlikely that is a valid "key"
