Windows 7 SP1 OEM ISO - Microsoft Site

Hi Folks,

Well I'd like to let you all know that I succesfully burned the ISO using imgburn @ 4 x speed and it's working fine.

Just to test it i restarted my pc and set my DVD drive as main boot drive, and then I got the prompt "Press Any key to boot from CD/DVD" just like with my original Windows 7 disc.

So Now I have a Disc that has Service Pack 1 encorporated on it, I want to run a repair install of my system as a few things are playing up but I have some questions.
- I installed Service Pack 1 manually (Via download from MS Site), can I simply insert the new disc and run a repair install by clicking upgrade, since SP1 is currently installed?
-Will it wipe any data, I don't mind having to reinstall Motherboard Drivers, Chipset drivers etc, but I'd like to be able to keep my installed games (On a Seperate HDD)

Will await to here from the Seven community, but for anyone who has an OEM key for Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit, it appears you can download the MS site listed in my original post, you just have to enter your product key wait about 30 seconds to validate and then select your language, and select your download (Note I used Chrome browser) not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Cheers,
Chris

Boeing,

Was that from the Microsoft site?

I have an OEM copy and worked for me. I have a stand alone windows 7 disc so just used my product key from that.

That could be it. I don't have one yet. I'm getting a repair disk with all the OS's capability soon.

I decided to give that a try on my OEM system builder key I bought in 2009 and it worked too. (I still have the disc, but it's not SP1)

Do you mean that yr original disc is not service pack 1?

The whole reason I downloaded it was to get a copy of Windows 7 which already had service pack 1 on it, which this new copy does as the name suggests.

Correct, I bought it a couple days before Windows 7 was released in Oct. 2009.

Good idea, I'm downloading both right now (x86 & x64) just because.

I'll give my Seven Pro key a try again too, see if it gets accepted this time. It's a retail key.

Is that from the link I provided Dere, or another one?
