    For your system you need to buy it from a retail store or from Microsoft. (Your system is not support by Dell for use with Win 7)
    If you need to download it goto microsoft and download from there fill out said form online, you can get a temp serial to use on Win 7. (Come to think of it I think they withdraw that since Win 7 got released) In any case you'll be able to use Win 7 once install on your PC for I think 90 days as a working trail. Just buy it out right I say but search the forum for know issues before you install Win7...

    Sorry it's easier if you just go here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/buy/offers/upgrade-option.aspx
