For years, Microsoft allowed us to download Windows 7 ISOs through their content delivery partner, Digital River. On February 2015, the company decided to take those links down. Thankfully, there are a couple of ways to download Windows 7 ISOs, legally and for free, either by using Torrents or a free app that provides links straight from Microsoft. Home » Windows » Download Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 ISO Images Direct From Microsoft. It used to be easy to download Windows 7 ISO images until they were all removed from Digital River after sales of Windows 7 were discontinued in 2014. The file will then download from software-download.microsoft.com. Download Universal Windows Downloader. If that doesn't work use another PC to download the ISO, then install and use the Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool to write the ISO to a 4gb or larger flash stick or new DVD. Then you can either run the media from the problem PC as a Repair Install or boot it following the steps to do a Clean Reinstall Windows 7.
It doesnât really matter what version of Windows you have, the best way to get your system working at its full speed and as issue free as possible is with a clean install of the operating system. Many small things can go wrong with your system over time which eventually will degrade performance and cause stability issues. Even with Windows 10, itâs recommended to clean install after upgrading so you are not transferring any problems from your old Windows install onto your new one. Itâs relatively easy to get hold of a Windows 10 ISO image, burn it to DVD or write to USB and do a clean install. However, itâs more difficult to source official install media for older operating systems like Windows 7. Of course, there are many unofficial sources like torrent sites but most of the well best seeded files will have been cracked, tampered with or altered in some way. That makes it more difficult to verify safety and stability. Using a trusted source is always the preferable option. The best way to guarantee you are getting a clean and untouched Windows ISO image is going directly to the source, which is Microsoft themselves. It used to be easy to download Windows 7 ISO images until they were all removed from Digital River after sales of Windows 7 were discontinued in 2014. Microsoft doesnât even want ordinary consumers to download a Windows 10 ISO direct anymore and instead pushes you to use the Media Creation Tool. Thankfully there are ways around these obstacles and itâs possible to download Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 ISO images directly from Microsoftâs own servers, whether itâs through an officially recommended method or a workaround. Here we show you several ways to download the ISO you need so Windows can be installed cleanly and safely.Things to know about Windows ISO images and Reinstalling
Download a Windows 10 ISO With the Media Creation ToolThere are a couple of ways in which you can download a Windows 10 ISO. One is the Microsoft Media Creation Tool which allows you to download a Windows ISO file, upgrade to Windows directly or download the installation files onto a flash drive so you can install from USB. 1. Download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool and run it. Accept the license agreement, select âcreate installation media for another PCâ and click Next. 2. The language, version and architecture type will be chosen that best matches the operating system you are running the tool on. To change these untick the recommended options box and chose what you want from the drop down menus. Click Next when done. The âWindows 10â option in the Edition menu will include Home and Pro versions, so if you also choose Both in the Architecture menu youâll get an all in one ISO image with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10 Home and Pro on the same disk. 3. Select âISO fileâ to download an ISO image file and click Next. Youâll then be asked to supply a save location and filename. The files will then start to download. Once complete you can open the DVD burner directly or click Finish and create the install media later. An all in one image with both 32-bit and 64-bit editions included will not fit on a single layer DVDR and youâll have to use either a USB flash drive or dual layer DVDR. Once downloaded, you can burn the image to DVD, write it to USB or store the file for later use. Download Windows 8.1 With the Media Creation ToolThereâs still a lot of users around that have Windows 8.1 installed and they might want to keep hold of it and not upgrade to Windows 10. After all, Windows 8.1 is supported until 2023. Windows 8.1 also has its own Media Creation Tool although this one has fewer options than the Windows 10 version. 1. Download the Windows 8.1 Media Creation Tool and run it. The first window offers the language, edition and architecture download options. Select from the drop down menus and click Next. This tool offers Windows 8.1 and 8.1 Pro as separate downloads as well as 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The N versions are mainly intended for European markets and have media related features missing like Windows Media Player. 2. Choose âISO fileâ and click Next. A file requester will ask for the save location and filename, after supplying that the download will begin. The ISO images for windows 8.1 are from late 2014 and include the major autumn update. Download a Windows 7 ISO From The Disc Images PageThe last official Windows 7 ISO is from 2011 which includes Service Pack 1 and a minor hotfix that fixes an install bug. There will be tons of updates after installation so creating an integrated ISO is also worth considering. The one official method left available requires you to enter your Windows 7 product key before downloading the image file. 1. Visit the Windows 7 Disc Images page at Microsoft. 2. Enter your 25 character product key into the box and click Verify. If the key is accepted you will be able to download a Windows 7 ISO that corresponds to the license key you entered. Select the required language and a 32-bit or 64-bit version then download the file. Important Note: This page has a massive problem because it only accepts retail license keys which you get only when purchasing a full boxed copy of Windows 7. If your computer is pre-built from a manufacturer such as Dell or HP your key will be of the OEM type which cannot be used. The same also applies to volume licenses and system builder OEM versions. This restriction excludes most Windows 7 users from downloading an ISO image from the only official source available. Third Party Methods To Download Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 From MicrosoftEver since Microsoft removed Windows ISOs from Digital River itâs been more difficult to find a clean and untouched image. Thankfully, there are ways in which you can get to the ISOs on Microsoftâs own servers using other means. Here a selection of easy ways to do it. Adguard.net Techbench Download Page Adguard is a Russian website (not related to the ad blocker) that releases custom ISOs for Windows. They also have a separate page which is a simple frontend allowing you download Windows ISO images from the Microsoft servers. This is an easy and quick way to get access to all Windows downloads at Microsoft without using hacks or separate third party tools. Simply visit the page and in the drop down menus select the Windows version, then the edition, then finally the language. After a few seconds, the download links will appear to the right with 32-bit and 64-bit versions if both are available. Also displayed are SHA1 checksums for the download so you can check the ISO file integrity once downloaded. Besides Windows 7, 8.1 and various versions of Windows 10, the Adguard Techbench page also offers ISO downloads for Office 2007 and 2010. The TechBench Dump link at the bottom of the page offers all available ISO download links on a single page. The middle button top left also does the same but shows checksums and has direct links for quicker access. Visit Adguard Techbench Download page Techbench Dump Techbench Dump is another easy to use way of downloading Windows ISOs, this is based on a Github script. It does the same thing as the Adguard site but with a different layout. With this page, you click on the button for which Windows (or Office) you want to download, select the version (Home, Pro etc) on the following page, then the language on the next page. Finally, you will come to a page with download buttons for 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the ISO. Thereâs also a set of direct links so you can quickly redownload the image from Microsoft servers without going through the steps again. Another very clean and efficient method to get the ISOs you need. Visit Techbench Dump Heidoc Windows and Office ISO Download Tool Heidoc is a website that has been hosting ways to get ISO images from Microsoft for a number of years. They also have a dedicated tool which is able to download not only Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 ISOs but also ISOs for Office 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016 (also 2011 for Mac). The tool is kept updated so any potential problems should get fixed quite quickly. Run the program, select what you want on the right and the main window will show a copy of the Microsoft Windows 10 ISO download page, but with the specific ISO file code injected. Select the edition from the drop down and click Confirm, select the language and click Confirm. Finally, click the button to download the 32-bit or 64-bit version. The Office 2013/2016 downloads are slightly different because they open and download the file in your browser. Download Heidoc Windows and Office ISO Download Tool Universal Windows Downloader This little 22KB tool is by nummerok, who like Adguard, is associated with WZT. With it, you can download Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 ISOs, as well as Office 2007 and 2010 images. Sadly, Universal Windows Downloader has not been updated since mid 2016. That means it does not currently include downloads for Windows 10 Anniversary Update or previews/final release of the Creators Update. Everything else, such as Windows 7 or 8.1, is up to date. All you have to do is find the Windows version you want from the Product drop down and select the language from the other drop down. Then the x64 and x86 download buttons or a single button will become available depending on what version of Windows is selected. Like the other methods here, the file will then download from software-download.microsoft.com. Download Universal Windows Downloader Note: Thereâs another Windows ISO downloading tool around that was released in early 2017, called MSDN Downloader. The program looks nice and is quite intuitive with a built in hash checker. The problem is it pulls all of its ISO images from a Russian server and not from Microsoft. The files may or may not be identical to the originals and you are free to use it if you can find it, but please be aware the files are not coming from Microsoftâs servers. Verify The SHA1 Checksum of Your Windows ISOAll Windows ISOs are over 2GB in size so itâs wise to check that the download is not corrupt. You can do this by comparing the SHA1 checksum of the downloaded ISO with the checksum from Microsoft. If they donât match there is a problem with the file. Rather than searching Microsoftâs MSDN pages looking for the correct checksum, itâs easier to use the Adguard download page or its database list (middle button top left). If you donât already have a hash checker handy, we have a list of 10 File Integrity checking tools so you can download one of those. Then verify both SHA1 checksums match. For your convenience, weâve listed some English language SHA1 checksums for ISOs downloaded from the Windows 10 download page and third party methods above. The Media Creation Tool ISOs for Windows 8.1 and 10 will not be the same though and will not match these checksums. Windows 7 Starter SP1 32-bit Windows 7 Home Basic SP1 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32-bit Windows 8.1 and Pro (Autumn 2014 update) 32-bit Windows 8.1 and Pro (Autumn 2014 update) 32-bit (English International) Windows 10 Home and Pro (Anniversary update) 32-bit Windows 10 Home and Pro (Anniversary update) 32-bit (English International) If any the checksum you want isnât listed, you can still find it using the Adguard database if required. Unlocking Windows 7 Versions From a Single ISOMany users will know that each Windows 7 ISO contains all other available versions, except for Enterprise. For instance, the Home Premium ISO also contains Starter, Home Basic, Professional and Ultimate, but they are hidden from view. To unlock the extra versions all you need to do is remove the ei.cfg file from the image. A simple way to do this is using a small program called the ei.cfg Removal Utility which tells the file system of the disc to ignore the file. This is a handy and quick method because opening the file, deleting it and then resaving the ISO is not required, the process here is near instantaneous. Below is a Home Premium 32-bit install disk with ei.cfg removed. All you have to do is run the ei.cfg Removal Utility and locate the downloaded Windows 7 ISO, a small window will pop up to say the file is removed, running the tool again will restore the ei.cfg. Using this method means you can save time and bandwidth and get all Windows 7 consumer editions by downloading a single Windows 7 ISO file instead of four or five. On page 2 weâll show you how to use the original method to download WInbdows 7, 8.1 and 10 ISOs that the third party options above rely on. 12Next ⺠View AllYou might also like:Error Code 66A when Updating Microsoft .NET Framework 4 from Windows UpdatemuBlinder â Blind Microsoft/Windows Update ValidationDownload Offline Hotfixes and Patches with Windows Updates DownloaderConcurrent RDP Patcher Enables Remote Desktop in Windows 7 Home Premium3 HTTP Debuggers to Decode Secured and Encrypted HTTPS Direct Download LinksIv a dell inspirion 1545 on wind 7 but got 2nd hand so wanted re-install wind 7 but no disk and am a beginer using the internet ,How do i no whitch i want use ?

GUest2 years ago
thanks for the quick reply ray, one last question if u allow me, I donât think there are many differences between the two if any. The media creation tool version installs from a .ESD file where the normal ISO installs from a standard .WIM file, thatâs why the checksums donât match. Both have the latest major update from late 2014, I think that is classed as âupdate 3â. Reply
gUest2 years ago
thank you so much, by the way i figured out the diffrence, the iso from techbench is 4.02gb where media creation tool give us 3.27gb iso its because iso from techbench contain pro+core version, in the other hand media creation tool give separate iso for core and pro ( i think you mentioned that in your article i just didnt notice) i hope this will help others too, thanks again.

Error The product key you entered appears to be for software pre-installed by the device manufacturer. the product key is valid, if used to install windows 7 professional x64 The slimey bastards just wonât allow you to download what YOU OWN, whether it was preinstalled or not, you still have a valid working product key, which should be more than enough to download a genuine copy of windows from the source, ie microsoft.

This is not about who owns what, because itâs established i own the key and it cost microdickheads nothing to give me a digital downloadâ¦.yet it is ironic, windows 10 is completely free if you download the enterprise edition. after the trial you can keep on using it, nothing gets locked offâ¦yet try to get software you should already own by having the key they tell you to do one.

Like with every Windows 7 install disc, you need a genuine product key to activate it. That can be a key from a sticker or if your computer was made by the likes of Dell or HP, you can backup the OEM key before reinstalling. https://www.raymond.cc/blog/backup-and-restore-vista-oem-activation-license/ ReplyThanks for the reply. Amazing site btw, a lot of great information. One more question. My windows is activated and i have a product ID: with the OEM in the 20 digit code, but iâm almost 100% sure my windows is not genuine, i think i got the CD from someone a long time ago⦠So can i reuse that ID with the guide you posted?

If it says Dell, you either have a Dell motherboard or someone has flashed your BIOS with Dell information to activate it. If you use our tool after reinstall it should reactivate your Windows with a Dell license. BEWARE, if you are running a Windows crack such as Daz loader, the tool will pick up that as the Daz tool emulates the BIOS. If that is the case your computer will not activate after reinstall.

Thanks! working perfect! Microsoft seems to be watching when we download the ISOâs for Win 7 and 8.1 from the Win 10 download page. It seems to me that it would be a good idea to use a proxy to hide your IP address and to use a computer which does not have any MS products installed. (I would be very surprised if MS does not include spyware whenever one of their products is installed so that they can identify the computer .) While downloading the two versions of 7 and 8.1 (a total of four ISOâs) I received an E-mail from MS saying that they have detected âsomething unusual about a recent sign-inâ to my account, even though I had not logged in to any MS account recently. The E-mail from MS included my IP address and a link to log in to Live.com to view information about the âunusualâ activity. It took many rounds of account verification and entering codes before it would finally let me log in to Live.com, and when I checked to see the unusual activity there was no additional information. My conclusion is that by sending the E-mail, MS was really saying: âWe know who you are and what you are doing.â I am not concerned about them knowing I have the ISOâs because I have no intent to use them for anything other than reinstalling software on systems that originally came with the products. But since there are few companies more slimy and sneaky than MS, I am concerned that they might do something like block access to their web site or product updates. Before this I had never thought I would have a need to use a proxy to hide my identity. My downloads continued and the SHA1 checksums verified correctly. I did have trouble getting to the pages that had the links to download 7 and 8.1. Usually the web site would hang on the white page that says: âValidating your request. This may take a few minutesââ¦. Reply
HAL9000 Author3 years ago
In my opinion a âsomething unusual about a recent sign inâ is not related to downloading ISO files in the slightest. There is actually nothing illegal or dodgy at all about downloading ISO files directly from Microsoftâs own website, even though you are using a small hack to get them. Iâve had occasional emails like you mention long before downloading ISO files from that page and it could be due to a number of reasons including someone else trying to log into your account, which happens from time to time when hackers are running scripts on the Microsoft servers. The timing is unfortunate but they are not related, Iâm 100% convinced of that. ReplyMan U are a God in Human body ,thank a lot!!! Cheers!!!! Reply

It depends which Windows you want, Windows 10âs ISO will have all the telemetry included as itâs built into the OS from the beginning. For Windows 8.1 and 7 the extra telemetry was added in updates over the last year or so, the ISOâs wonât have the telemetry but the updates you install will so will have to be careful when updating.

This is very good information, however, mostly I need OEM ISOs to reinstall corrupt systems. The full WZor script has Windows 7 âCOEMâ and Windows 7 âCOEM GGKâ. What is the difference between these? Are these different from âOEMâ? I cannot find any information on this. Which would reinstall a PC by Dell, HP, Acer, etc on a replacement hard drive that would allow the key code to be accepted? There are three key codes. First there is an OEM code that can be found with Magic Jelly Bean. Next, in Magic Jelly Bean there is a âmatch to CD Key data CD Key:â Third, there is a key code on the label on the side of the PC. Which ISOs, if any, will match which of these key codes? Microsoft makes this very confusing. If you can you shed some light on this, it would be very helpful? ReplyThe COEM ones are commercial OEM versions which are not required and only meant for major companies. COEM GGK is the same but includes the Get Genuine Kit which helps end users purchase a genuine Windows license. As these are not required for general users we left them out of the modified script. The standard Windows 7 downloads will cover almost everything including retail and OEM so you can use the key from the sticker. The only thing they do not cover is the OEM pre installed keys, which if the computer was purchased from HP, Dell etc will be the key you find in Magic Jellybean and is different to the one on the sticker. To reuse the OEM key requires extra steps, you can read about that here:

Thank you so much. Let me see if I understand this correctly. If the hard drive is toast and the sticker on the side is unreadable, I can do this: * Download the x32 or x64 Windows 7 ISO, as needed, per this article.
