Well I told you. Only retail keys work. One that comes with your 
computer is not retail.

If you entered a download location for it it should start; however 
torrents are dependent on the availability of seeds; so if there is no 
seeder you would be out of luck.

Typically if there are seeders you would see it connecting and a 
download speed starting to emerge. So if you selected a save location it 
should start automatically after clicking okay.

I could give you a private download link to a Windows 7 ISO by private 
email but I am pretty sure it is a Dutch language ISO, not that it would 
make a difference for this; or a Windows 8 by private email link that 
would be English, because I am sure it doesn't matter if you'd use a 
Windows 8 DVD for it.

If there are really no seeders you could try another ISO to see if there 
are any seeders there.

Regards.
