Windows 7 on new built computer

[Souj]

I have a quick, unethical question. I'm getting a new computer built, and was looking for an OS on torrents.
For Windows 7, I found one that says it's already activated and that I just dont update a single file. The other copies of 7 apparently all need Loaders.
Would these even work on a brand new computer? Honestly, I don't know a whole lot on the technicalities of computers and I'm not entirely sure what would work and what would be best.

I'd avoid any torrents that aren't just the windows 7 ISO. It's extremely easy to "crack" windows 7. Get a normal, unaltered image, install, then run a loader once, and it'll work 100% perfectly, updates work fine, etc.

Here's another stupid question;
downloaded it from the link you gave and it speaks of an ISO, but I didn't get an ISO.

Spoiler: show

is it the efi?

if you have a usb key with enough space, you could copy paste all of that and boot off usb to install win7

Question, after I install the iso, do I need to have the loader on a cd/usb right away, or can I get said loader after I've installed the OS and it's already up and running? About to try this but I have no idea when the loader part comes into play.

You run the loader after windows is installed. Technically you have 30 days of trial before windows locks you out but you might as well get it over with and use the loader as soon as you boot into windows. After you apply the loader and restart, go to control panel and system. Look on the bottom and make sure windows is activated. If not, you'll need to try other settings or get another loader.

Ah ok thanks for the clarification.

Or if you know a student or are a student you can get it for a whopping 29.99 and not worry about the loader.

hmmm I was not aware of that. I might buy one then. Ended up using my old Vista CD cause I couldn't get any of the Windows 7 to boot up my pc.
If lolcommunitycollege qualifies for their requirements that is.

You just need a .edu email address to verify, I believe.

A little off-topic. But if you want to put the 7 ISO on a USB drive without doing any of the command line stuff. Download this.
