Hi tatts36, welcome to sevenforums,

Hi can anyone help me im after a usb with all versions of windows 7 on it so i can format my pc.

Surely you only need the Windows 7 version that you have the key for?
Why do you want all versions?

 

[tatts36]

all versions

true but i have a laptop and 2 desktops with diff versions on all 3 just handy if i want to format them

Hi tatts36,

You can download the ISO file from here:

TechBench

Then use the following information:

Windows (Final) > Windows 7 SP1 (build 7601) > Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 > English > Win_Ult_SP1_English_x64.iso

Obviously change the language and bit type to suit.

Then delete the ei.cfg file (this will make all versions available) from the ISO and then burn it to a DVD and off you go.
Then on installation you can select whatever version of Windows 7 you have the license key for on the other computers.

I hope this helps!

The ei.cfg file is located in the sources folder within the ISO.

You can either extract the ISO files, delete the ei.cfg file then create a new ISO, or use a tool to remove it.

This will unlock all versions for install.

Hi tatts36,

...or use a tool to remove it.

The tool mentioned by Brds7t7 can be downloaded from here:

eicfg_removal_utility.zip

I hope this helps!

You don't nedd a youtube vid.

Just d/l kai liu's ei.cfg remover. Unblock it ( like you do with all downloads), unzip it. Then run it.

eicfg_removal_utility.zip

It asks you to browse to the iso file.

It is very easy.

When used on an original Windows 7/8 ISO image, this utility will disable the
ei.cfg file, thus converting a disc image into a "universal" disc image.

When used on a Windows 7/8 ISO image that has already been patched by this
utility, this utility will undo the ei.cfg removal and restore the disc image
to its original state.
