download-windows-7

There are many valid and legal reasons one might have to feel the need to download Windows 7. For instance, you might be needed to reinstall or recover Windows 7 but not find the original Windows 7 setup DVD, or your netbook doesn’t come with a DVD drive. In such cases, downloading Windows 7 should help you out, assuming you have bought a legal and valid key from Microsoft.

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, Lifehacker has got hold of complete listing of Windows 7 ISO direct download links. Note that the Windows 7 ISO image is of SP1 build 7601.17514.101119-1850.

Download Windows 7 ISO with SP1

Note: The below links are from Softpedia. You need to buy Windows 7 key from Microsoft

Download Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit x86 ISO

Download Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit x64 ISO

Download Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit x86 ISO

Download Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit x64 ISO

Download Windows 7 Professional 32-bit x86 ISO

Download Windows 7 Professional 64-bit x64 ISO

Update: You can now download the Windows 7 integrated SP1 ISO images

Note: The below links are from Digital River, who is the official e-Commerce partner of Microsoft. I repeat, you must buy a Windows 7 key from Microsoft directly to activate this set.

Download Windows 7 SP1 Integrated ISO

32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate x86 SP1 (bootable)

64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 (bootable)

32-bit Windows 7 Professional x86 SP1 (bootable)

64-bit Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1 (bootable)

32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium x86 SP1 (bootable)

64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium X64 SP1 (bootable)

Tip: Please use a download manager to download the files since they are bigger than 2GB in size.

    • http://techpp.com Raju PP

    • JonathanTorillaValencia

      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…

  • guy

    I downloaded the file but now I cannot locate it to copy it to a USB

  • butchart.eric

    thank you so much.. i really needed these..

  • girl_honey

    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

    • butchart.eric

      @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.

  • freund.marc

    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!

    • butchart.eric

      @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.

    • JonathanTorillaValencia

      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….

      • butchart.eric

        @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

    hi
    i need win7 pro oa x16-96076

    any help please ?

  • Vak

    I found this answer in different blog : using the key from “product.ini” will make it so that you will either need to buy a valid ultimate license key or reinstall in 30 days… The keys in the “product.ini” file are “default” keys they are the keys that setup will use if yo fail to provide a key during the install, they are intended to allow you an install when you don’t have your legit key available but DO have one, and it then gives you 30 days to get/find it. Using windows anytime upgrade works with this key for the same reason, but just like a regular install it will need a “real” key within 30days or windows will go non-genuine/etc. you can verify this yourself by right clicking on the computer icon and choosing properties and then scrolling to the bottom of the computer/os info to where it shows your licensing status. Which will say something to the effect of you having XX days to activate(“Default” keys do not activate)
