Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 |
Hello Samuelleeb, and welcome to Windows 7 Forums.
It is against the forums rules to discuss where to download a illegal copy of Windows 7.
If you use Google, you may find what you want. 
Yes, I'm dual booting with it.

if he is just a regular employee from the moment it is handed to an outside source its illegal...
