Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (7225) or the full path ("Software > Computer Software > Restore Disks"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.

| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Software > Computer Software > Restore Disks |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 7225, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Restore Disks
What is the Google product category ID for Restore Disks?
7225. The full path, "Software > Computer Software > Restore Disks", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Restore Disks available?
No. Restore Disks is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 3, so 7225 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Restore Disks sit in the taxonomy?
At level 3, under Computer Software (313). The chain from the top is Software → Computer Software → Restore Disks. If your product does not belong under Computer Software, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Restore Disks is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Computer Software first — there are 13 other categories at this level: Antivirus & Security Software (5299), Business & Productivity Software (5300), Compilers & Programming Tools (315), Computer Utilities & Maintenance Software (5301), Dictionary & Translation Software (5127), Educational Software (317), and 7 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Computer Software (313) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Restore Disks compared with the categories next to it?
It is the smallest of the 14 at its level, carrying 0 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
