I installed windows 7 without service pack 1 and now, when I'm trying to input service pack 1 key, I get an error. Can I activate it when I simply install service pack 1 or I need to reinstall it from image with service pack 1?

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 does not require a product key. All you need to have is a genuine copy of any of the following editions of Windows 7 installed. Many downloads like Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 Key may also include a crack, serial number, unlock code or keygen (key generator). If this is the case then it is usually made available in the full download archive itself.

Here, try downloading the Windows 7 service packs manually. Then activating using your key.
I don't know if you have either a 32-bit OS or a 64-bit, so here's both.

I ran into this recently when using Microsoft SA volume licensing. It seems that the ISO needs to be Windows 7 with SP1 or you will not be able to activate it. You should have no trouble finding that install if you look hard enough.

Checking the Windows XP Product Activation Key
During the installation of Windows XP Professional, you are prompted to enter a 25 digit Windows XP Product Activation Key Code, which Windows XP promptly converts it into the system's product ID. Because of security concerns about piracy, Microsoft does not provide a tool that allows you to view the Product Activation Key (or CD Key) that was used to install the operating system. However, Windows XP Service Pack 1 ships with a list of the two product IDs that are created by the pirated product volume license product keys. (The Product ID can be found by right clicking My Computer and choosing Properties.)
To determine eligibility for the update, Service Pack 1 compares the Windows XP product ID on the system to this list. The comparison and the list reside locally on the users PC and no information is sent to Microsoft as part of this process. Service Pack 1 for Windows XP will fail to install on installations of Windows with one of the following product IDs: XXXXX-640-0000356-23XXX and XXXXX-640-2001765-23XXX Serial key norton internet security.
The following message will be displayed if installation fails for this reason:
Service Pack 1 Setup Error: The product key used to install Windows is invalid. Please contact your system administrator or retailer immediately to obtain a valid product key. You may also contact Microsoft Corporation's Anti-Piracy Team by emailing [email protected] if you think you have purchased pirated Microsoft software. Please be assured that any personal information you send to the Microsoft Anti-Piracy team will be kept in strict confidence.

How to change your Product Activation Key in Windows XP
If the product ID matches the invalid keys above, you may need to change the key (re-enter a valid key) in order to install Windows XP service pack 1, and to make sure your environment is legal. You could completely re-install Windows XP Professional or you can try the method below. (Please backup your system before attempting this.) This workaround is only for the corporate editions of Windows XP Professional using a compromised or illegitimate key. Windows XP Home Edition and retail versions of XP Professional are not affected by Service Pack 1. Although this procedure may work with other versions of XP, we have only tested it on the corporate edition (volume license version) of Windows XP Professional.
Note: Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs.
