Legal Download of Windows 7 Pro ISO

[nigelmercier]

I no longer have the legal ISO I downloaded from Digital River (now removed), and the Microsoft Software Recovery says my Product Key is not valid for English!

Is there a legal alternative?

Which part in particular?

Your system specs states "Homebrew".

The Iso you downloaded originally from Digital River was an un-activated version, and would have given you up to 30 days to activate from a purchased OEM builders/Retail licence, which you will need to re-enter to validate the install, as far as i know the English/Non English keys are easily identifiable by the MS servers, hence the not valid.

Where did you get your key.

Could you also repost in the windows update/activations sub-forum and post the required files.
see the sticky at the top of the sub-forum.
