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

I need some help.

I used the ISO method, created a bootable USB, used the program to delete the "ei.cfg" file and proceeded to install. Unless I missed something, I do not remember seeing a choice of which type of windows I want to install. I wasnt paying attention and now I see that I installed home premium and my key is for professional so I was unable to use my key. So now I need to re-install the OS...so where exactly is the choice to change it to pro instead of home premium?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

 

Why wouldn't you just download the Professional ISO?

 

So, I just created my ISO, but I'm a little concerned that something isn't quite right with it because while I was running the command to build the ISO it displayed the same number of files, but a different number of directories when compared to the screenshot in the walkthrough.

Picture in the walkthrough:


What I saw:


Is this something worth worrying about?

 

hyrule:

Why don't you just download the ISO file directly from the links in this thread & save yourself the time & hassle?

 

Yeah do the iso method. I ran a trial of 7 Ultimate doing this prior to purchasing 7 Pro. I used the same disk and did a clean install on the old Vista converting it to 7 home premium. It works every time.

 

I was feeling ambitious, and by that point I had already made the ISO?

And wow, I'm an idiot. I made an x86 ISO when I needed 64 bit . . .

 

hyrule4927: Use the ISO's with SP1 integrated, in my sig.

 

I used the iso of Windows 7 supplied on digital river. Installation was quick and easy; 100+ updates on my first shut down to install SP1.

Download the iso with SP1 integrated. It'll save you plenty of time.

 

Yep. It takes many update installs & reboots before SP1 even shows up as an available update, and then there are a bunch of updates that need installing after SP1.

Much, much faster to start out with SP1 from the get-go.

 

New links here with SP1 integrated:

I know this has been asked before, but I can't find it by searching. What is the best extractor to get my serial key? I need to extract it so I can re-install windows.

 

Use the free version of this. Keyfinder | Magical Jelly Bean

 

found it above
Thanks

 

I am buying a laptop but it is only 32 bit windows, could I reinstall windows using the links of this site and get 64-bit windows instead? if I do that can I use the same key?

 

Yes, that will work with no issues.

 

Yes, download from my link instead and you'll have Service Pack 1 integrated from the beginning.

Yes.
You can change between 32- and 64-bit.
You can change language version.
You can't change edition, ie between Home Premium and Ultimate.

 

Thaks you two

yo,
i luv u bro,
really needed a good win7 download!!
this still works, however.
keep it up!

 

Ok, I tried to read as much as I can before posting, so please bear with me.

1. The links in OP (the 3 file method in particular), is it with SP1?

2. Say I have the home premium edition 64 bits preinstalled, I can install any version (professional, ultimate), but I can only "activate" the home premium edition 64 or 32 bits, right? I can't upgrade window 7 to a better edition. Can someone confirm whehther I understand this correctly?

 

I seriously question the legality of this, as these downloads are only intended for those that purchase a license directly from Microsoft at the Microsoft Store. I don't care what kind of a spin you put on it, that you can use your own key, etc. I'm really surprised the MS lawyers haven't come down on NBR for this. But enough of raining on your parade. Enjoy your free downloads.

 

RTM? Gasp..looks like I will be running updates all night tonight then.

 

Don't get your panties in a twist. (I am aware the current terminology is "bunch" but used "twist" to reference Roger's mental state).

Digital River is a central source and certified distributor of MS software/ISOs.

You can find these links in many other places just by a simple Google search.

I'm with Peter Pan on this: !kill all the lawyers. And the proper term is panties in a bunch. Roger proceed directly to your mental health facilitator.

 

So why don't you use the link Indrek gave you, with SP1 integrated?

 

I heard they fixed the downloads with SP1 in them so the rearm feature is not there anymore.

 

I think you do know that these digital river links are leaked links and neither Microsoft nor Digital River distributed these links to the public.

 

Yes, I do know that.

My point is that if Microsoft lawyers were to come down on NBR, they would have to come down on most of these other sites as well.

Unless setting an example of one site.

 

Hello guys. I need your help.
I have VAIO VNG-TT190N with Windows Vista preinstalled. I made clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. Made install of all drivers from sony web site. my problems:
1) I have 64 mb dedicated video memory in vide adapter options (on vista was 128 mb)
2) I have processor 3.9 score in Windows experience rating (on vista was 4.1)

I have U9300 1.2 Ghz processor, 3 Gb Ram.
Maybe I need to try another version of Windows 7?

 

The Vista and Seven ratings are different.

Vista = 1 - 5.9

Seven = 1 - 7.9

 

Sorry but are there any Chinese versions? Preferably Republic of China (Taiwan) version

 

There are links in my sig, I think it is Traditional Chinese.

hello, im downloading the w7 ultimate x64 with sp1 iso from digital river (ill remove the ei.cfg later), and im kinda confused, are those OEM w7 versions? or the retail version works same with ABR key?? also , do i have to use the ABR key (extracted from w7 home premium x64) on the same version (hp again) or i can use it with other w7 version (want to use it on w7 ultimate)??

 

I downloaded the iso version of windows 7, removed the ei.cg file using the program recommended and got a conformation that the ei.cg has been removed, i also used the recommended program from microsoft to boot from the usb drive but I can still only install windows 7 pro and not home premium... Am I doing something wrong? Also after doing a clean install for an HP envy 14 do I overwrite the swsetup folder in the newly installed win 7 with the one I backed up?

 

You can only install the version that matches your product key. By stating that you can only install Win7 Pro, do you mean that is the only version that is available, or the only version that accepts your product key? If you backed up your SWSETUP folder that will have your OEM drivers in subfolders, but you will not see a new SWSETUP folder unless you download and install new drivers from HP. If you go that route, then there would be no reason to move a copy the backed up version of the folder and contents to your new installation. In fact, doing so would not be advised. The SWSETUP folder is not a native Windows folder... it's an HP folder.

 

I can't find my country Philippines the time and currency format. What should I do?

EDIT: Never mind , Ignorance made me ask sorry

 

I got it on my install (Filipino), maybe you only checked for Philippines?

 

Pardon my confusion but if I download the Windows 7 with SP1 ISO from the link above and then burn the image to a DVD using ImgBurn, do I need to do anything further to make the dvd a bootable disc? At this point can I just place the dvd into my drive and turn on the computer? I'm obviously pretty new at this so forgive me if the answer to this question is an obvious one.

 

hey guys, I did a clean install using OP's 64bit version. I managed to grab my OEM key which was shown in the system information window but I wasn't aware that I needed a serial key also. I learnt this the hard when the thing prompted me in the end of installation asking for a damn serial key. Now I'm stuck with an unregistered machine and it's telling me that I have 3 days to activate windows. Any help on this is deeply appreciated cuz I'm down on my pell grant therefore cannot afford to buy new OS keys right now.

Just to clarify I have the OEM thing but not the serial key. If there's a program out there which can convert the OEM key into a valid serial key please do share.

 

Is it not on the bottom of your machine, if not, you may have to give Microsoft a call with the number you have and see if they can help you.

 

The key on the bottom of your laptop is the one you want.
If you can't get it working you can attempt a rearm with the link I post.
You can also contact Microsoft for help.

Thank you so much, that did it.

 

Wanted to do a fresh install and not use the crummy 3 backup disks from my ASUS K53TA

Downloaded the Windows 7 x64 English iso

Burned it to a DVD

Booted from DVD perfect

Entered my COA on bottom of my laptop

Windows 7 installed without a hitch

Promptly threw away the recovery disks

 

Yeah, i have windows 7 home premium 64 bit. Which version should I download? the x86 or the x64?

 

x86 is 32 bit

and

x64 is 64 bit

Respectively.

 

Respectively??? You're not sure are you?

 

I'm not sure.

I'm POSITIVE


If you don't believe me a simple Google search wouldn't hurt.

 

That's what I'm TALKING ABOUT, lol. Thanks for the help :]
