My laptop would not boot.  I had it repaired at BestBuy.  When I got it back when I turned it on and it booted It requested that I enter my product key which when I entered it, would not accept it.  I looked up the problem on the internet and tried all the suggestions and none of them worked.  They all stated that if this was the case I have to buy a new product key and reinstall Windows 7 Pro 64 but if I do this don't I have to also reinstall all of my programs?

Yes, the best course of action is to take it back to the firm of repairers that you used previously and ask them to fix it correctly this time.

Sounds like Best Buy used a different key. But, then, again, it shouldn't be asking for a key if it was set up properly.

Return it to Best Buy and have them do it right this time.
