Hi,

This is what you should've done in the first place:

How to Replace Lost, Broken, or Missing Microsoft Software or Hardware

Any downloaded .iso is likely to be both illegal (outside of an MSDN
subscription) and dangerous (probably modified by whoever posted it).

LEN. This sort of post is totally uncalled for. You yourself are a basic moron. If you want a ****ing contest go some place else. Legitimate questions are asked by anyone regardless of education or IQ. It's the response that one gives that shows the true l
evel of education or IQ. You are and idiot Len. Good luck.

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

If it was an OEM license, you should contact whomever sold you the
PC.
