Downloading a Windows OS to media

Hello Elaydeful and welcome to the forums

It is possible to download Windows 7 however this is illegal Not only do the forum rules state that I can't send you links, but you never really know what you're downloading when it isn't an official source. For example, it could be a modified version of Windows laced with malware.

The only thing I can think of is to borrow a disc off a friend or family member and install it using that - but use your serial. It has to be the same version and architecture though! You need a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 disc, nothing else

By default, Microsoft does NOT offer a direct download of this software. Your best bet is hopefully to find a friend who can provide you with a copy of the needed disk.

A second option is to get a technet subscription from Microsoft and then you can download the media. Problem is this will cost you $199 for the 1st year. However, it might be worth it for you as you get a ton of Microsoft software including Microsoft Office.

Your worst option is to download it from some random torrent or p2p site. Problem here is that it will most likely be tampered with to bypass activation and such and thus might not be trustworthy. I certainly wouldn't install it onto any computer that I own.

I wonder why so many people seem to "lose" their Windows disk around here. I have a small 3 drawer cabinet beside my computer and it holds my media, my game disks, paperwork, etc. Why would people be so careless with the installation disc??

This is a download manager that you can use to download the media to your computer. However, Microsoft is NOT going to give you the ISO without you buying a new license for it.
