Update (2.12.2011): Due to a request by Microsoft, all the links have been redacted.
Few days back we had told you about an option to get the Windows 7 DVD from retail stores or download Windows 7 ISO directly from its servers online. Customers can digitally download the Windows 7 installation files from online store from which they purchased Windows 7 to clean install on blank PC or upgrade existing installed OS.
The previous Windows 7 download links were in “.box” format, which comprised of a starter executable, setup1.box and setup2.box which cannot be burned to DVD disc directly or mount to a virtual DVD-ROM drive. The process to create a bootable Windows 7 DVD ISO image was pretty complex and most of you found it tough to get started.
Luckily, MDL (update: link redacted) has got hold of complete listing of Windows 7 ISO direct download links. Note that the Windows 7 ISO image is of RTM build 6.1.7600.16385.
Note: The below links are from Digital River, who is the official e-Commerce partner of Microsoft.

BEST , I LIKE
Thank you very much. I have a valid key but no dvd, I just hope it hasn’t been altered in any way. I do appreciate it very much and thank you for putting this up for people to download
these are official links from microsoft and not altered in any way
if it happens valid key as it is genuine (only if) hehehee goto to start menu>then type in seach program, UPGRADE ANYTIME.. from there you can do the update by simply entering the key… then the system will be updated automatically, download necessary additional update from microsoft…
I downloaded the file but now I cannot locate it to copy it to a USB
thank you so much.. i really needed these..
so after i download the iso file do i need to burn it to a dvd before I can begin the upgrade? and where do i go to purchase the activation key
@girl_honey .. exactly you burn it to a DVD and than have 30 days to activate. you can go to microsoft.com and buy the key. Remember though the premium is the cheapest of the three.
I’m trying to “upgrade” my OS from Windows 7 professional 32-bit to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. The original key I recieved was via email and was an upgrade key code. If I do a clean install of 64-bit will the key code work to activate the 64-bit even though my original order was for “Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Upgrade – 32 bit”?
Thanks!
@freund.marc You want to be careful.. just remeber that thier are limited applications that work on the x64.I would personally stay with the x86, but your prefrence is yours. what your going to have to do is the clean install but do not put your key in till after it is installed. than after its done their will be a little shield notification in the taskbar tray. thats where you should activate it. it may deny you but it will give you the option to call microsoft and they will activate it.
i supposed you will have a problem with your upgrade key… the keys are specified (that shall be verified online) once trigger the licensing of your O.S… the keys are specified to what edition you will be using.
>2nd do consider the difference between 32bit and 64 bit of OS… more often 64bit is faster, as it is recommended for DUAL-CORE and UP since it has 64bits. though machines that are 64bit , you can alter 32 bit OS but 32bit CANNOT used the 64bit, though in some isolated cases they have successfully installed bit 64 for bit 32 machine the performance is noticeable WORST…. (refer for the guidelines first before installing/reinstalling different OS)
Though it can be advantage to keep a back up (shadow copy) before doing any update or installing any software, in this way you can revert any malfunctions or error that may occur upon installation….
@freund.marc but the main thing about the x64 is that the drivers have to be logo compliant with MS. otherwise your stuck with a generiac MS driver.. so unless everything your going to add to the computer has a microsoft logo you will have to settle with the generiac drivers
