Does anyone have good scan of Windows 7 PRO retail box?

[SGvagon]

Hello,

I would like to make miniatures of Windows 7 Professional boxes, but I can't find anywhere any scan of original box.

So my question is, does anyone have this original Windows 7 Professional retail box (English would be great) and could scan it and send it here?

Thank you in advance.

How many 1,00 do you want simple Google image search Windows 7 PRO retail box - Google Search

@samuria On Google image search there are only photos of this box, but not good quality scan from scanner. Something like Windows XP box from japan 20 anniversary Windows https://i.postimg.cc/dqFCrrBN/Windows-XP-cropped-edited.jpg .

I've scoured the Internet and found nothing. I checked the wayback machine and Flickr as well. I see the retail box is on eBay, but for around 47 Euros.

It is very unlikely that High quality reproductions of copyright materials would get through Microsoft's or Google's checks these days as they could be used for packaging pirate copies of Operating Systems

@Barman58 I know :-/ . This year me and my friends we will switch to Windows 10 , so we would like to celebrate Windows 7 Pro with some props, like miniatures boxes, flags, images, etc. .

What I only found are these images on beta archive here Category:Windows 7 Professional Box Scans - BetaArchive Wiki . Looks like from scanner, but colors are little bit bland and box is cropped on sides.

What I would suggest is you use one of the new AI Resize programs to enlarge the images you want to use ...

I tried with the image you said was the best you could find and I produced a useable file several times larger than the original.

Unfortunately I cannot upload the file as it gets too large for the uploader here on the forums

I used the latest OnOne ResizeAI plugin.

There should be a trial version available to download from their site that you could use yourself to play with the images you can find to build what you need

Sorry. This one looks genuine (if you don't mind it being the Polish edition).

Sorry for late reply. I found some retail DVD boxes on Deviantart and other on the internet. Then I edit it in Gimp and make mini boxes . I think, it looks great . Then printed mini manuals (I found original scan of this orange manual) , the most famous wallpapers on photo paper, DVD cover boxes with small DVDs media (32 and 64bit versions) and some stickers.

In past, I made Windows XP boxes too https://i.postimg.cc/y1JZZ3BN/DSC-0048.jpg .

Looks excellent. You put a lot of work into that.

Believe that Gold one is a GEM....

MS givaway special of approx 2000 units

 

[townsbg]

torchwood what do you mean?

SGvagon look up Windows 7 enterprise box. Even though they aren't real they look pretty realistic.

 

[torchwood]

Im not saying its non-genuine in anyway or form, but when W7 was released they(MS) sent out a VERY RARE special GOLD boxed version, to a select number of people....
IT DID HOWEVER have limitations..... it could NOT be transfered to another machine (Product Key) and only had a single validation option... NO SLMGR REarm option
I came across this whilst investigating a non-genuine issue many years ago, (I've gotta good memory)
HeHe its somewhere on my posts!!!!

PS its >@<torchwood,

That's pretty cool!

 

[townsbg]

Was the gold for home premium? The only thing I found on windows 7 gold was an obviously hacked version and a theme.

If you want to print these boxes, I can upload somewhere Gimp templates and Office word documents . These files are in high resolution, so if you have bigger than A4 papers, you can print it in larger size .

 

[file3456]

I wouldn't mind those if you could. Is it A4 card stock type of paper?

I use Mega for file transfers to the public and whatnot myself.

Can you provide a link to the exact paper you're using?

I'm not on the up and up with photo editing. Can you convert them to simple PDFs perhaps? There are online conversion websites if you can't use Gimp or Office or LibreOffice... I use LibreOffice myself and it does have convert to PDF ability.

And thank you. This would look pretty cool on my desk.

 

[SGvagon]

I used classic A4 hard paper from stationery. Ok, here it is, I uploaded on file.io https://file.io/nbBN774ADItm or MEGA https://mega.nz/file/UiNSxQ7A#U54VGG7wMiK5i-KB9k5cdkkvTT9XDBK7T_o_kx1AYuM .
In krabica.doc you have materials for print the retail boxes and DVD sleeves. I am using MS Office Word 2003 to print, because there I can set exact measurements for print.
If you want make any changes, you can edit GIMP .xcf files.
