Windows 7 Downloads

As you all might have noticed, Microsoft took Windows 7 down from its digitalriver site.
But if you still need the image here are some official mirrors of the image (completely legal).
Note that even if they say german they all have the option to set them to english when installing them.

Windows 7 Home Premium:

Windows 7 Professional:

I hope they're useful to you.

This thread is legally dubious, but I guess it's OK as long you don't give out product keys.

Of course I don't give them out.
The link are okay. They're deeplinks from Winfuture.

Yeah that's what I guessed. You need the key to use those Windows images.

u/novenary May 01, 2015, 03:49:11 PM

Well you can install and use these without a key but it's just a trial period, after that you need to activate it with a legit key or a crack.

Ooh nice I didn't know. That can be handy to see if we like it Iguess

Most Linux users needs Windows to download their favourite distro, unless the computers come with Linux or something.

Nope. I installed Arch Linux on a laptop that came with Windows without actually touching Windows.

I hate non-*nix environments because I have no clue how to do anything, so I was unable to actually get the install iso onto my USB stick from Windows. Instead, I found my dads laptop and installed the iso onto my USB stick using the dd command.

u/Snektron May 01, 2015, 08:24:05 PM

So you're running Linux off an USB?
Also, i don't want to windows-fanboy, but you know, google. Anyway whatever works i suppose

u/Strontium May 01, 2015, 08:24:58 PM

No. I said I installed the installation ISO on the USB

u/Snektron May 01, 2015, 08:29:20 PM

oohhh wait, i get it now :s. gg2me

Actually, sharing the iso is a good thing. Nadeo did the same with Trackmania United Forever as you need the product key to register to the game. It helped me as my CD broke... :/

u/Dream of Omnimaga May 05, 2015, 02:43:40 PM

Yeah I agree. That said, always make sure that the ISO files are officially made available by the company who made them before sharing links to them, because just because the Windows 7 ISOs might be legal doesn't mean every ISO that requires a serial but doesn't come with one are.
