Subject: Where to download /*W7*/ ISO files legally from MS?

What's the Windows 10 media creation tool got to do with Windows 7?

They were at Digital River.
Then they weren't.
They they were.
Then they weren't.
Now they're at MS. See Paul's reply for URL. You need an license key.

Your product key is located inside the box that the Windows DVD came in,
on the DVD or in a confirmation e-mail that shows you purchased Windows.

i.e. the above product key information from MSFT (Inside the box, on the
DVD, email) implies a 'Retail' product key entry is necessary.

They (Win7 ISOs) are still available to download direct from M$ with a
valid product key. I found the relevant webpage in a few moments with
Google, so feel free to do your own homework.

Looks like you may be correct. I tried the CD key for my OEM version of
Windows 7 Home that was on a salvaged computer. Their wizard complained
"it appears you have a pre-installed copy of Windows". Guess the
OEM'ers and system builders are screwed now that Digital River no longer
has the downloads.

It just leaves the MSDN torrents. As long as an SHA1SUM is
available, you could go for one of those (the SHA1 checksum
allows verifying the authenticity). And those
usually contain multiple versions, so you could
install Home Premium or Ultimate, all using the same
MSDN DVD.

I've only run a torrent once here, and I set it up
in a Linux virtual machine. So I wouldn't be clogging up
my main Windows with any crap.

You're most welcome.

I'm not particularly minded to help people who don't make at least a
token effort to use a search engine to find the information they are
looking for. I suppose they expect other people to wipe their arse
after they've been to the toilet, as well.
