This is true, however it's usually only for retail channel. Since the laptop
is made by an OEM, the key is registered to them as an OEM key, so it might
or might not work. Even if the iso did download, activation would be a whole
different story, since you'd need an OEM certificate to go with the key.
The discs that the OEM provides has the certificate in the image, so that's
why they activate with no problem.

you can download a Windows ISO from Microsoft, provided you have your
license key to give them.
