Can anyone recommend a trustworthy source for the Win 7 Starter Ed for netbooks as I've got several netbooks which have the COA sticker but need a fresh install. I've not been able to access the recovery manager so have decided to try and install a fresh image from usb. Any help appreciated

Hi SIW2,

I have heard that doesn't work for the OEM sticker keys. It seems to be pretty unreliable in general.
Thanks for pointing that out, I will take it off of my help list :thumbsup:.

Which make? I've just factory reset an Asus Aspire One, but at first I couldn't get the recovery manager either.



In order to do so I had to go into the BIOS and enable 'D2D Recovery'. After that it's restart and press Alt+F10 repeatedly at boot.

Go here: Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool

Download the Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool. You can then use that tool to download any supported version of Windows or Office, including Windows 7-32 starter edition.

Here are the versions of Windows available for download with this tool:

Yes thats a very good point. As long as I can it to download a couple of ISOs as we've got about 15 different netbooks from HP, Samsung & Toshiba most with the COA stickers.

I will definitely check to see if any of our HP, Samsung & Toshiba netbooks have the same setting. Good spot :)
