Where did you get the key for 7? I assume that you got it from a sticker on the system (meaning OEM).

If you try to "just install" 10, you will get that error. If you do not fully update 7, you will get that error. If you installed 7 and are not fully licensed, you will get that error.

Oh, and you cant skip it as was mentioned.

If you need them, I have valid Windows 7 Keys for all OEM versions as well as media for all versions of 7 - both 32 and 64.

Most common mistake however is installing 7, not licensing it and installing 10 from disk. Best way, install 7, license it and go to Microsofts site and check for updates.
