Re: Download Windows 7
See if Download Windows 7 Disc Images (ISO Files) helps. You will need to enter the 25 character product key from the sticker.
Best wishes,

Re: Download Windows 7
I don't think it will work, since the COA is usually used on systems that were pre-installed with a version of Win 7. The COA number is in place of the product key on the Windows 7 DVD. If they don't match, it refuses to go further.However, take a look at this site that says maybe you CAN do it?Oliver wrote:Greetings all,

Re: Download Windows 7
Gentlemen thank you for the above references,
Below are three simple steps you can follow to accomplish the download.
Step 1: Download the Windows 7 .ISO
Step 2: Download the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool
Step 3: Using the tool on Step 2 create a copy of the ISO from Step 1 onto a USB or DVD and... there you have it.
**Remember, you NEED your 25 character Product Key from the sticker IOT activate Windows.**
I said simple steps but they weren’t simple for me to find , hope this helps!
