Anyplace to safety download OEM Panasonic W7 iso?

Obviously one could just dl from a not so legitimate place and then use our legitimate license and call it a day. But the chance for an infected copy, or going through multiple iso to find one that works with our OEM key just isn't worth it. And honestly, I no longer trust TPB.

I have spent an hour or so going through various Panny sites and thought I had stumbled across this a couple times, but struck out. I have W7 32bit in my MK1 CF-19.

I am hoping that the windows downloader tool from "heidi.net" is legit and that I selected the right options to make a basic install .iso.... But a full on recovery dvd .iso would be much nicer.

 

many of the files (especially W7 , et al) have been pulled or are dead links .
yer right ... i do not trust many of the dl sites anymore .
i have built a couple of "universal installer" flash drives ... these depend on the activation key to *sort out* which flavor of (say) W7 to install .

a full recovery dvd is available from "heartlands" .
pretty much a drop-it-in-and-hit-the-go-button deal .

let me check with a member here ...
i'll PM you later on today ... possibly in a few hours .

 

How about one from Microsoft. Check it out here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7

 

I tried that Mr Blair. Those only work with "retail" keys. The keys on the bottom of our laptops are OEM ones. But, there is a SAFE answer! And in fact I found the information to do this in the same place I found the link you posted up:

Where to Download Windows 10, 8.1, and 7 ISOs Legally

This article links not only the MS link above for retail downloads, but tells you how to download a tool to access Microsoft's servers directly to download other versions, including OEM installs. The article with a link to the tool can be found here:

Windows ISO Downloader

How To Geek is a pretty cool website. In my searches I kept finding articles there, each one with rabbit holes linked to other articles just as interesting. Somewhere there I found a really good article on slipstreaming all the updates into an install iso.

I am in process of creating a couple install discs now that I have my downloads completed.

This is a partial solution, as it only creates a legitimate OEM type install disc that should work with our OEM keys. I will post an update on that later.

It doesn't solve the Panasonic aspect. I have been out of the Panny loop for a while. Is Panasonic's "Driver Download Manager" the best way to get all in one bundles?

If not, somebody have a link to where I find those?

 

Been experimenting with Ntlite for slipstreaming Panasonic drivers.
Very interesting tool.
Double driver will backup all of the drivers on a working install.
You then add those to Ntlite and recompile the install DVD.

Panasonic does have a ftp site

 

On the 19Mk1 I just restored one with the panny Vista business disc then upgraded to Windows 7. Getting ready to make an image of that install for the other zero hour Mk1.

 

That link doesn't get me anywhere Shawn... I found another ftp Panny site that opens a folder full of files. I have no idea what I am looking at though and nothing looks quite right.

Man why the F^#9 can't Panasonic have just one website with everything in one place???

Okay I found some back door link to one of the places I have looked at least 5 times. I might have the correct driver bundle now... Now I remember why I went to Mac... HAHAHAHA!!!!

 

Yeah well want to hit me up with one haha? I do need to fix my MK1 also...

 

PM'd you

 

What link?
I did not post a link..

 

Here is the link

ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/computer/software/

 

The robots or safari must have made the link. They turned "Panasonic" into a link. Seems they did it to my post too. Meh. Hey, they used the same one you just posted though!

 

PM'd you with the image links
