LEGAL Windows 7 Download Links (Just like Vista before!!!)

Link removed by Mod.

So all I need to do is buy this and I can use it anytime?

 

Thank
But i have a question can i upgrade on the previous version of windows 7 home premium to ultimate for free or
I have to purchase a new key...

 

You have to purchase another key.

Talk about getting other editions for free via illegal methods are not allowed here.

 

Sites that only sell the key usually have pirated the key, stolen it, or are selling MSDN or technet keys. Like with keys bought on ebay, Microsoft eventually bans them.

I see. Thanks for the info. Shame that.

 

thanx for the info

but i m not talking about any kind of illegal way

As u said which is not allowed here​

 

It was a mistake.

I got it cleared in this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/win...oftware-unable-create-backup-cert-xrm-ms.html

Thanks for your precious input

 

Hi,

This is probably a really dumb question but:

I followed your directions and now have a DVD with a single file on it: Win7.iso
When I put this DVD in my laptop (an old one with XP installed), nothing happens. When I boot the laptop on this DVD (with boot order set accordingly), nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

 

Unfortunately the OP assumed that everyone knows that you have to use the Burn from Image option in your burning software instead of just burning the file directly to the disk.

How to successfully burn or write an ISO-image to cd or dvd

 

Thanks, PapaSmerf, that worked! (I suspected it was one of those things that "everyone (except me ;-) knows"

 

Do the links include SP1 in the image? If not i'll slipstream SP1 into the ISO I already have.

 

Just curious if i need to download these files as I have a disc with x64 Pro that is a academic license. Ive already used that key on my main but would like to do a fresh install on my Envy 14 and use its OEM-key. So do you reckon my OEM-version for Home Premium would work using the academic license installation discs?

 

Any links for ISOs with SP1 integrated?

 

Hey, which one do I use for Windows 7 Starter? I guess the x86 version?
Just tried the X86 version, but the only option was premium, even though I ran the ISO patching utility.

 

It doesn't include Starter.

 

I'm looking for SP1 integrated as well anyone?

 

Hi guys. I just followed the ISO method and now created the USB bootable drive. However, i had chose to install Windows 7 Ultimate in the first place but after a period of time of installation, it came out with a different result which is Windows 7 Home Premium Welcome screen!?

Now is processing the upgrading of windows through the same ISO and hope it works.

 

how can I use these 3 files to install from a usb flash drive?

its for a netbook which has no optical drive.

thanks

 

Now my USB Bootable can only install home premium where as even if i start clean install, it won't let me choose other version of Windows.

I tried to make a new Bootable drive but same result

 

Did you delete /sources/ei.cfg on the USB?

 

Nobody with the SP1 integrated?
I'd love to make a real clean install with SP1 loaded from scratch.

 

Subscriber Downloads | Search and download thousands of Microsoft products and get Product Keys

click 'view' on the version you want, and copy/paste the sha1 code into google and append the word 'torrent' at the end of it eg., 3A35801881CB04D537D13479AC4E51510C9771CA torrent

the sha1 code is just a way for you to verify that the torrent/iso hasn't been tampered in any way.

 

Hello, how its possible to create ISO image with command prompt about xp sp3?
I already have ISO image.

 

and would I be restricted to getting home premium or would I be able to get win 7 ultimate with this download? would that be worth doing?

 

Ahem... Thread drifting into bad territory...

 

What ever key you have purchased, you can use on this file. So if you purchased Home Premium, you can install Home Premium using that key. If you purchased Ultimate, well, the same goes.

 

microsoft doesn't care about such small illegal use cases. they do monitor, though, and intervene if the license gets used more and more simultaneously.

but i think it's a 3-uses for each license limit on which they just don't react. doesn't make it legal, though. no clue about long-term-ability to use like that.


there are, though, 3-pc licenses out there. i think every boxed ultimate is 3 licenses (or was that vista only?). other special licenses exist.

 

I purchased a Lenovo G560 with Win7 Home Premium yesterday - with no Windows 7 install disk unfortunately.

Like many others, I just can't believe the amount of garbage installed on the laptop, and when I phoned Lenovo this morning to ask if I could purchase an install disk I was told that I would have to purchase a retail version of Win7!!

From what I've read above, there doesn't yet appear to be a Windows 7 with SP1 available for download from here.

My first question, before I go ahead and download the ISO. I purchased a new top-end desktop machine a month ago, on which I installed Windows 7 Professional SP1, and for which I have the full OEM SP1 install disk.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what I've read here, but is it true that all Win7 install disks are actually common? If so, is there any way in which I could modify a copy of that Win 7 Pro install disk to use it to install Win7 Home Premium on the laptop (of course, using the genuine serial number from the laptop), thus having the SP1 version of Home Premium?

My second question. Is there any way in which installing Win7 on the laptop, without any of the Lenovo add-ons, and removing the original Lenovo backup files, could actually void the warranty on the machine??

Thanks for any assistance.

 

no, it wont void the warranty, but there are some things you have to keep in mind, like if you dont install the system software some shortcuts/hotkeys etc will not work, and if you dont install the power manager you may have below normal battery life.

the OEM disk for your desktop will only have one version on it, so its not possible to modify legally.

just download the correct ISO for your license key from this thread and use that.if you really want to you can download the distributable SP1 and slipstream it onto the install disk....
but i dont really see the point, you're only doing an install on one machine, just clicking windows update to get SP1 isnt so hard is it?

 

haven't been here in a while thanks to school, but just updated the OP with a working link to the Microsoft USB/DVD tool ( Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool - Home)

 

I've downloaded both of the ops isos for windows 7 64 bit. The first turned out not to be an iso at all but some weird file extension. The second iso was indeed an iso for windows 7. I used the given tool to remove the ei file to make the disk a universal disk with all versions. I then burned the file directly to dvd with power iso. Whenever I try to install windows 7 on my pc it tells me the file may be corrupt or missing. Has anybody confirmed that the second iso link correctly works and installs windows 7? If not,any suggestions for me?

 

Did you use a download manager as recommended? Your issues sounds like a corrupt file download to me.

 

Yes, I used a program called "download them all". Just something from cnet I found. I will try to redownload the file and go from there. Hopefully it works. I accidentally downloaded and burned the 32 bit iso plus installed it.. so I know it works. Lol, I hope its just a bad dl.. I need my pc back.

 

Cheers for the guide, will be using it soon hopefully.

 

I just got my new G73SW-A1 yesterday. So far everything is working fine but there is a bunch of junk on there. Awesome laptop by the way... Got a bunch of stuff cleaned off and the second hard drive combined into one but what really bugs me is all the crappy games installed that you can't or shouldn't uninstall. Can't believe those type of things made it onto a gaming laptop.

My question is I have a sealed OEM copy of Windows 7 64 bit. Could I just use this for a complete clean install? If so after installing should I use the key on the bottom of laptop to register? Not sure how these OEM discs work like if I should use the key that comes with the disc or laptop. Just want to be sure before I take the plunge.

Thank you.

Jim

 

Jim, I think that will work. The only way to know for sure is to take the plunge.

What you could do just to be totally safe is create an image of your current installation that you can reinstall. There are several free imaging programs you can download.

Does this mean you are in RAID0? If so, be sure the imaging program you select supports RAID0. Some of the free version do not. I use Macrium Reflect and in works great, but the free version does not have RAID0 support.

 

No sir not raid. These have two 500Gb drives and they partition them into 1 hidden partition on drive one,one for the OS and then a logical drive. So three partitions on drive one. Then drive 2 has two partitions which I combined into one. On drive one I didn't try changing anything on. I think it would be easier to just do a clean install and and reformat everything into two large drives.

Thanks for the reply.

Jim

 

OK, that makes sense. Then you should be good to go. Please let us know how it goes for you using the downloaded OS and your own product key from the COA.

 

After you finish downloading the ISO, download this and extract it: http://code.kliu.org/misc/win7utils/...al_utility.zip - This program automatically removes the ei.cfg file, allowing you to install any version (Home Premium, Ultimate, etc.) provided you have the right key

After you download eifcg_removal_utility and extract it, how exactly am I suppose to remove the ei.cfg file from the isos I've downloaded. That is the part I don't get. Can anyone help me here?

 

Kammy - Put the ISO and the utility in the same folder, then execute the utility. If necessary, point it to the ISO and it will do the rest for you. You should see a message after it runs that the operation was successful.

 

I ran the program to unlock all versions, then created a bootable USB drive. When I boot to the flash drive, it doesn't give me the option to install any version other than Home Premium. I thought these links were supposed to be Professional by default? Have they changed since the OP?b

 

Thank you Mr.Fox for help.

Am I suppose to download both of the isos and then put it on my USB , because it won't let me. When I upload one and try to upload the other, it keeps telling me "I need to erase my USB cause it doesn't have enough space" when I still got 12 GB left on my USB.

What am I suppose to do?

 

Kammy - you only need to download one ISO, as each is a different Windows ISO version. Download either the 32bit or 64bit, depending on your system hardware capabilities.

What are your system specs? If you have a newer dual-core or quad-core CPU, you should be able to use the 64bit and you will need the 64bit version in order to use 4GB or more RAM. If you have an older single-core CPU or you have less than 4GB of RAM and no plans to install more than 3GB of RAM, the 32bit version of Win7 is all you need. (If you have an older single-core CPU, such as a Pentium M or P4 or your system will not accept more than 2GB of RAM, you may want to think twice about running Windows 7. You may want to stick to WindowsXP with such antiquated hardware resources. Windows 7 will feel a bit sluggish on a system with 2GB of RAM. If you have only 1GB of RAM, don't even go there.)

Did you download and install this item as well? If so, you should not be trying to manually copy over any files to your USB drive. Running this tool makes the USB or DVD creation a very simple and automated 4-step process. See the screen shots below.

Insert your USB drive (or blank DVD if not using USB). Start the program and browse to select your ISO.

Spoiler

Click the blue "USB device" button (or DVD if you are making a DVD).

Spoiler

Select your USB device from the drop-down menu (or refresh if you don't see it).
Click the green "Begin copying" button.

Spoiler

Wait for the tool to finish, and you should be all set.

Spoiler

When the tool completes, you're all done. Yay!

Spoiler

Here is what you should see as far as files and folders on your USB drive.

Spoiler

Now, shut down your system. Attach the USB drive and boot from it. If your system does not boot from the USB drive, either change your setting in the system BIOS to boot from USB first, or press the corresponding F-key to access your one-time boot menu and select your USB device from the menu as the boot device. On my system, I press F12 to get to the boot selection menu. It may be a different F-key on your system, and some systems do not have a one-time boot menu. If that is the case, you will need to either go into the system BIOS and change the boot order for the USB device to come before your hard drive, or create a DVD instead if your system BIOS does not allow booting from USB.

Here's a screen shot of my boot selection menu. I would need to select #2 USB Storage. (Also, if the USB drive is not attached, there may be no option in the boot menu for USB Storage.) Navigate this menu with arrow keys and enter.

Hope you find this helpful. +1 rep for hanging in there instead of giving up.

Edit: Remember, you are going to need to download device drivers. Do this before reinstalling Windows and it will make the installation process a lot easier. You can go to the web site of your computer manufacturer and get drivers there for your specific model. Bear in mind that a variety of different devices may be available for your model, so you will need to know specifics about your video, audio, and networking devices in order to select the correct drivers for download.

If your system is still functional, download and install Belarc Advisor and print a report of your hardware so you can identify exactly what devices you need drivers for. As an alternative to Belarc Advisor, go into Device Manager and make note of your specific hardware devices by name (video, networking, sound, etc.) and write down that information. (See the thumbnail below for an example of identifying your hardware in Device Manager.)

 

Did a complete clean install on the Asus G73SW-A1 today. I decided to use the oem disc I had and used the code off of it. Went smooth. Got all the drives setup into two 500gb drives. Nice to have a clean install getting rid of all the crapware installed at the factory.

Jim

 

Jim - that's awesome! Good job, and thanks for posting to let us know it went smoothly.

 

I had to press F12 to get to my boot menu, since it didn't boot on it's own. When I select my USB storage option it just froze on Windows starting. I do have other things saved on my USB storage, so should I do it on a DVD-r instead.

 

It would freeze if the drive was not specifically formatted as bootable and with the necessary sys files resident. You cannot really use the USB drive for storing other things and create it to be a Windows installation source. The tool to create the USB resource will erase everything else on the USB drive. (You could add other stuff to the drive after creating the USB Windows installation, but I would not recommend doing that.)

Yes, make a DVD instead. Use the same tool to create the DVD as outlined above and it should go without a hitch. Please come back and let us know how it goes.

 

When I start to reinstall Windows 7, It gave me the option of which type of Windows 7 I wanted but it was x86 not the x32 I uploaded on the blank DVD-R. Is that ok or will it mess with my laptop at the end cause I already have problems, it's why I want to do a clean installation.

 

x86 is 32bit so you should be fine.

 

You will be fine, but better off with the x64 (64bit) OS. You have a 64bit CPU and 4GB of RAM. The 32bit OS will not use more than 3GB of RAM, but the 64bit will. If I were you, I would download the 64bit version and create that DVD instead.
