    Where can I get a Windows 7 installation disk from?


    As per the title really. I have found the Microsoft site at:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/soft...nload/windows7

    but this site will not let me download a file for my HP OEM installation.

    Can some kind soul please let me know where I can get a download from?

    A couple of weeks ago I got a download from Microsoft themselves (at least I think it was Microsoft), but this location now seems to have disappeared and I cannot find anything on the HP website either.

    Thank you for the link, however x17-59297.iso is for the Italian and Chinese version and according to the index file at the foot of the list, the English version should be: x17-59186.iso

    I am attempting to download this file now, but it is very, very slow.

    I will report back in due course.

    I am happy to say that the download has completed and that I have burned the file onto a DVD.

    Thanks for the lead to the download site, I could not find it at all myself as all the leads that I had were saying that Digital River was no longer hosting these files.
