where to download windows 7 ultimate

[whoneedsmac]

Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me where I can download the retail version of Windows 7 Ultimate? I have already purchased a legitimate key, and I just need the software now.

Thanks!

You will need to download it from Microsoft ... or a certified MS vendor ...

I didn't see it on Microsoft's website. I might could try contacting them with the key unless you know of the link.

AFAIK, unless you have an MSDN/TechNet account. you can not download the software directly. Where did you get the key?? Didnt they supply the disc as well??

If you purchased the Key for cheap on a site like Ebay, the key might be bad. Make sure you keep all records of the transaction from Purchase and contact MS. This is the best way to see if your key is genuine. We have seen lots of these keys cause problems.

You can't normally buy just a key on it's own.

There are some for sale on ebay and similar. There are a lot of horror stories about buying non genuine keys.

The installation media has not generally been available separate from the key, simply because it has no intrinsic value and is not sold separately.

MS have made the install media available recently , presumably as a result of the debacle with the problems they had early on with the special student deal.

There are sites that have it for download.

It is no use without a valid product key.

It's probably best to contact MS who can also check out the key for you.

Do you know Google?

Here's one spot:

Windows 7 ISO x86 and x64 Official Direct Download Links (Ultimate, Professional and Home Premium) » My Digital Life

The Amazon links no longer work, but you can download one of the other versions and genericize the installer.

As others have said, the odds that your product key is "legitmate" are pretty slim. Third-party sellers are required by Microsoft to provide a COA (certificate of authenticity) with a sale of an OS license. Did you get one?
