Need source for Win7 64-bit Home Premium ISO
My HP laptop got trashed during an attempted Win10 upgrade, so I need to do a Repair Install. Problem is, I don't have install media and the OEM disk that HP will SELL me, from what I read here, can not be used to do a Repair Install.
So ... I went to the Microsoft Software Recovery site, entered the "CD Key" for this installation (the one I'm running now), because it won't take OEM CD keys, and got the error message that the ISO is not available in English and to select another language!
I have two other non-OEM Win7 machines, so I tried the CD keys for both of them -- and got the same error message each time.
This Microsoft Software Recovery site is less than worthless!! MY guess is that MS does not want you actually downloading Win7, so they have this "broken" site up just to frustrate folks.
Since Digital River is gone, unless I want to pay $100 for a new Windows 7 DVD, I don't know anywhere else I can download a legit ISO file.
Anyone have any suggestions?
