The last time I downloaded 64-bit W7 HPE ISO had SP1, but that was a

I suspect it's still Win 7 SP1, now that M$ is trying to push Win 10.


Yeah, I refuse to use W10.


MS can't even follow 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'; far worse, judging
by all the W10 updates that borking computers, it that MS can't manage my
preferred mantra: 'if you can't fix it, don't break it'. Of course, W10 was
broken from the start.


Also, MS dumped its QA and are using us to test their own products. MS
isn't the only one too!

Would we be so lucky as to have the w7 iso include usb3 and
NVMe support? Probably not.

We would be lucky to get rid off all Rogue Traders like you from these

Since the availability of the download is just as crappy
as it was six months ago, I don't see a reason to get
too excited about this media. A typical user would
need to use Heidoc to get it, and Heidoc got "burned"
on its current Win7 delivery method, so don't expect
them to care quite as much about delivery.


I haven't seen any difference in the Heidoc method lately, so I'd be
hard pressed to conclude that they got burned in any way. Everything
that was available is still available, and then some. (see below)

People who bought Retail Win7, already have media,
and they would be the only people qualifying for this.
A Dell or HP user cannot download the media, for as long
as the license key check on the web page, only
allows Retail keys. OEM keys don't work (I tried that
with the Acer laptop key a couple years ago).


Heidoc recently added a big bunch of Dell-specific images. I don't have
the right Dell model to be able to take advantage, but I'm inclined to
say they're fine, based on Heidoc's history of success.

They were using purchased license keys, to feed the
Win7 download machine. Some deal they had with Amazon,
headed in the wrong direction. The site didn't go into
details.

If you're referring to this issue, it doesn't seem to have any relation
to Windows ISOs. The 9-part story is about Amazon accusing them of
violating the terms of their affiliate program because someone bought
too many textbooks or something.

https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/amazon-global/46-heidoc-net-vs-amazon-com-part-1-the-history-of-a-legal-dispute

On the other point, maybe someone will test one or more of Heidoc's Dell
images and let us know how it goes.
