When I entered the COA from my dead T410 it said the COA was from preinstalled software and I need to contact the supplier for more details.

I've used the Vista Business .iso from this site and it worked fine. They are clean downloads with no bloatware, malware, or viruses.

This is the link for Win 7 32 & 64 bit. Scroll to near the bottom of the page.

I have done this many times for HP, Gateway and Dell systems and they always
provide the disks for about $20, cheap because you already have a COA.
