The clean ways to download a Windows 7 ISO So, as OEM owners, what are we supposed to do? Steal a disk? Beg friends and strangers for a Windows 7 DVD?Īccording to Microsoft, we should order a physical replacement disk, wait a couple of weeks for the delivery, and pay the shipping and handling fees. And Microsoft's website, for reasons unknown, won't let us download Windows 7 ISOs with a valid OEM product key. In case we have a desktop or laptop computer with pre-installed Windows 7, we own an OEM Windows 7 License. However, to download Windows 7 through this site, we need the product key of a store-bought, retail version of Windows.

Sure, they have set up the Microsoft Software Recovery website, the "official" way to download Windows 7. We could download Windows 7 and be sure that the ISO was clean and untampered.Īnd then, in early February 2015, Microsoft decided to take down the Digital River ISOs, for good.

That's why it was a big deal that Microsoft allowed us to download Windows 7 as an ISO through Digital River. For all we know, the ISO could contain a host of malware: rootkits, trojans, keyloggers you name it. Microsoft giveth, Microsoft taketh awayĮven though it would work, downloading Windows 7 from questionable sources is never a good idea.

In short, you can search, manage, and download torrent files right from your desktop. TorrentRover Portable is a search tool that helps you find and download your favorite music, movies, TV shows, applications, and more.
