It will not impact on the installation, as you will still get Windows 8 installed. Just choose Windows 7 when asked about operating system.

Hey man what do I put as the product key. It ask for a product key when I go  to next step, and if i dont put one in the installation wont complete.

do not use easyinstall - then you will not be asked for a key

You will have to select "I will install the operating system later" in the wizard to avoid "Easy Install".
