Microsoft does not supply Windows 7 ISO downloads for OEM preinstalled operating system Product Keys for Dell, HP, etc. machines
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
As it came preinstalled:
Here are the Key/s to press at Boot to reinstall the operating system (new condition).
Dell – Press F8 which will bring up Advanced Boot Options

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
And if you do have a Manufacturer's Recovery Partition on your Hard Drive and you can Boot into Windows, you should be able to make and have your own Recovery Disks from it to reinstall the Operating System in case of Hard Drive failure.
Look under Programs > your Computer Manufacturer's name > then their System Tools or Recovery Software Headings for them, depending how it is worded.
If you can not find any reference to it, contact the Manufacturer for advice on how to make those Recovery Disks.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
You can borrow the exact same edition of Windows 7 Retail DVD and use your Product Key on the COA sticker to reinstall/repair the operating system.

Or you can use this for preinstalled OEM or Retail Licenses. This is on a first come, first served monthly basis.
Download the correct ISO file and make your own disk and use the Product Key that is on the COA Sticker.

The COA sticker is either on the underside of the Laptop or in the Battery Compartment.
With a Desktop it is either on the side, rear or top of the Computer Case.

Using the downloaded ISO file Method may require phone Activation.

The above method also will require you to go to your Computer Manufacturer's website > Support and Downloads Section > locate your Model Number and Operating System > then download and install the latest Drivers for it.

Glad you got it sorted out.
If you managed to ugrade to 10 by using the now expired free upgrade to 10 there is no product key.
It is/was called a digital entitlement.
