    Windows 7 (64) install

    I have the product key for windows 7 but i can't find my install discs and was wondering if there is a site or a link anyone has that might have the install. Thanks in advance!

    I remember seeing Sono mention something about this before so lemme see if it's kosher to post a download link for the image file itself since there's nothing inherently piratey about having the image files without producing activation methods

    Search Windows 7 on Piratebay, download the version that you have reg keys for, and you should be good to go. You'll also need to download MagicDisc (or an equivalent disc mounting program), in order to create a bootable CD. Piratebay that also, since you're going to need to create a bootable CD, and you're restricted to 300 MBs unless you have their premium version.

    Asked Sono about it:

    which I did not know, though I can't find either without going through a purchase.

    The only free Win7 Image Microsoft offers is the 90 day trial of Win7 Enterprise. BUT is should work that you edit the ISO before burning it and delete the ei.cfg file on it, that should turn the disc into a full setup medium for all editions of Win7. Haven't tried it with that image, like i said it should work but you'll have to try. At least it's the only 100% legal way.

    There's nothing illegal about downloading a Windows OS image, just make sure the source you are getting the file from is legitimate.
