    There's nothing else to my knowledge that is legal. Why don't you want to use those?

    I think you're right. I will give a go.

    Another question is can I use win 7 pro with my ultimate license? That sounds silly, but is that possible? I appreciate your response fellas. :)

    That's disappointing. :( I wonder why? I am willing to use a cheaper version if it works.

    The license is to a single version. You cannot go up or down a tier with the same key (although it would make sense to be able to install a lower tier with a higher key).

    Just a quick note in case you're not aware, Anodize. Those are the legit microsoft link for Windows 7, so they're your best bet to download in anywhere, pretty much.

    If I have a 64-bit Pro Upgrade VLK, can I use it with these ISOs, or do I still need to install another copy of Windows then copy Win7Pro over it?

    The downloads in the link cover all versions of Windows 7. I've installed Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate from the same disc with no problem. What determines the version is the key.

    That's as official as it's gonna get. All you have to do is follow the guide (ISO is easiest) and just run the ei.cfg remover to make the disc allow you to install any version. All of the windows 7 discs have all of the versions (ult, pro, hm prem) on them, but the ei.cfg file prevents other versions from being installed.
