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.
A 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 the online store from which they purchased Windows 7 to clean install on blank PC or upgrade the existing installed OS.
The previous Windows 7 ISO file download links were in “.box” format, which comprised of a starter executable, setup1.box, and setup2.box which cannot be burned to a 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. You don’t have to try one of those shady Torrent sites now. Note that the Windows 7 ISO image is of SP1 build 7601.17514.101119-1850.
Download Windows 7 SP1 ISO – Directly from MicrosoftOriginally, Microsoft didn’t bother to provide the ability to download Windows 7 OS in any format unless you purchased a retail version license online. In such cases, Microsoft facilitated digital versions of Windows 7 ISO through Digital River, the official distribution partner for Windows 7. Sadly, Microsoft removed those links in 2014.
Right now, Microsoft still allows you to download Windows 7 ISO images directly from their servers through the software recovery page. Here is how you can download Windows 7 Disc Images via the official channel legally, and also create installation media such as a DVD or bootable USB drive to install Windows 7:
Note: You need to have a genuine and valid retail Windows 7 product key before proceeding
1. Visit Microsoft Windows 7 ISO download page: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows7
2. Enter the product key in the text box at the bottom of the page, and hit the Verify button.
3. Select the product language.
4. Select either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7 for download. You can also use a download manager for this.
5. Burn the ISO image to DVD or write to USB flash drive to create bootable USB drives and DVDs.
Download Any Windows or Office ISO Using a Free Third-Party ToolThat’s right. Instead of Digital River, Microsoft is now using TechBench to store all the ISO files. It’s not easy to find the ISO files for older Windows versions, but we will help you out. To start with, enter the Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool.
This is a free-to-use third-party tool with a simple interface that lets you select the version of Windows you want, then downloads an ISO for that version straight from Microsoft’s download servers. Of course, this is all legal and kosher. And you need to have a valid, genuine Windows 7 license key to use the Win 7 ISO files you just downloaded.
Alternatively, here is yet another third-party tool to get Windows 7 ISO file download.
