Anyone know where I can find Windows 7 Home Premium ISO or CD so I can reinstall this laptop I received, I have the key?
It is a Sony VAIO Laptop.

The ISOs that you can download from the Internet rarely work with branded laptops which employ their own form of volume licensing.
You need to contact Sony for a replacement disc.

I have done it before on my Acer and this Sony laptop worked with Windows 8 and 10, but wouldn't activate the key I had as I used my key too often so don't think that will be a problem.

No problem I have Rufus for ISO to USB works well
I've never encountered a laptop (all laptops are branded laptops) on which the original Windows ISO can't be installed.
The typical ISO found on torrent sites (untouched, original image) will work just fine on any computer.

Windows 10 ISO isn't allowing me to upgrade Windows 7 to 10 without a key even though it has applied for the free upgrade.

At what point does it ask for the key, immediately after you started the upgrade? Make sure that you have the matching Windows 10 ISO for single/multi language.

Yes oh that is why I forgot about that
Mine is home single language and this is home premium.
Thanks
