Solved need install iso for win7 home premium

[sdowney717]

I tried MS, you enter the product key and it tells you it is OEM so you can not download it from them?

I also tried this, but the everytime the iso size changes and they are all duds.

The laptop is an Asus model N73J

So what to do?

So what to do?

You can get very lucky and find a retail copy for sale.

Or continue to pound Google and take your chances with whatever link you may find. Maybe they match the official Microsoft product and maybe they don't.

Or borrow a disk from a friend.

Or concede and go with the free upgrade to Win 10.

Up until a couple of years ago, you could download the ISO directly from a legit Microsoft partner, but they are deliberately making it difficult lately.

I found SoftTronic has a download of win7, so am trying it now.

I also contacted ASUS tech support.

The softonic download installed and is activated as 64 bit windows 7 home premium.
It was not clear if this download iso was 32 or 64 bit, but it is 64 bit, maybe it can do both, dont know.
