Microsoft only allow Windows 7 ISO downloading for Retail and System Builder product keys.

If your system came with Windows preinstalled (Dell, HP, etc.) that make it an OEM system and you will not be downloading any ISOs from Microsoft with your OEM product key.

Sorry for the late response guys, appreciate the help.

Yes, no downloading pre-installed keys.

Britechguy, something seems off with those iso files in your link, I tried creating bootable sub from them with both Rufus and Imgburn but something is wrong with those files?

Did you extract the ISO from the RAR file first?

Yes, no boot file is showing in the extracted folder. Matter of fact some strange stuff here with this file. I extracted it and it showed a regular folder when I double click on that folder it shows a zipped folder, when I double click on that it shows back the winrar file.

I downloaded the 64bit Pro iso and was able to boot the DVD and a USB flash drive created with Rufus. I had to burn at 4x using Imgburn before the DVD booted successfully.

Thx. I went a different route, I used the instructions I found here:

to to create an iso from my win7 disk, to be sure.

britechguy, are those links you provided legal (just making sure i wont get in hot water if i download them)?

So far as I know there is no such thing as an illegal ISO if it was downloaded from Microsoft.  Anyone is allowed to have and keep the installation media for Windows.  The individual who archived them says they came from Microsoft”s servers, and I have little reason to doubt that.

What makes legal or not is whether something would be “cracked” which means it would automatically `license itself` even though the end user did not have a legitimate license key.  Bleeping Computer strictly forbids the discussion of sources of cracked software or the encouraging of its use in any way, shape, or form.

The one ISO I used from that collection a while back appeared to be stock Microsoft and I was prompted to enter a license key for Windows 7.  It”s been so long now since I did a Windows 7 install I cannot recall if you can even continue without a key and have a 30-day demo mode, during which there would be some mechanism for entering the license key once you had one.
