Assistance required to Clean Install Windows 7

Excuse me, I’m a noob and this is my first time doing a clean install of windows 7 on my laptop.
So all I’ve done up to now is putting the .ISO Windows 7 setup file into my USB disk that i’ve downloaded from this forum too which is this one:
http://www.google.com?t=16896189&start=0
And then before i start booting my laptop from the USB and hence start installing, i tried skimming through online guide to install windows 7 that i’ve found and up to this step:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/windows-7-clean-install-part-2_13.htm
As you can see, the above guide is for installing a genuine windows 7 bought legitimately..
Once I’ve reached the above step which is inserting the product key(please open the link in the second quote), what should I enter since I downloaded windows 7 from here and not legally bought it so I don’t have a product key with me.
Can anybody help me what should I do now? Do I have to find separate activation key in .BB? Or if I use this .ISO file I shouldn’t have encountered the ‘enter product key’ step at all? Because I’m not actually installing it right now, just preparing to.
Thank you for all the help.

Don’t enter a key – just carry on.
Once finished, run Daz’s Loader from the link below.

Here’s how you should go about it:
– Grab an untouched copy of the ISO file you’re looking for. You can find some of them from here:
http://www.mytechguide.org/10042/windows-7-service-pack-sp1-official-digitalriver-download/
– Load the ISO onto the USB drive using this tool by Microsoft:

– Install Windows 7 from your USB drive as you normally would, skip the part about activation.
– Run Windows Loader after installing and you should be good to go!

Thanks. And 3 questions if i may.
1) Is the Windows 7 setup that I’ve downloaded from .BB fine? Or i need to download the one mentioned(above reply) from mytechguide.org
2) Do I have to validate after installing?
3) In the enter key step from the screenshot, there seems to be no ‘Skip’ or activate later option. How can I skip this step then?
Answer #4
It is okay but version you downloaded is activated – someone messed with it in past, and one from Rayn is clean one, with it you’re sure nobody messed with your OS. Whatever floats your boat.
Not sure about your OS from 1st post but yes, you need to activate those clean copies of Windows but it’s pretty easy. Just press Next when it asks for key, you’ll be moved into next step.
