What are people using to burn the iso? Ashampoo and Iso-burner both fail alomost immediately after starting to write.

I used ImgBurn.. worked like a charm! Going to try and install Windows 7 in VirtualBox though, so might not even need the burned disk after all.. unless I decide to do it dual boot instead later on though!

Glad to be of assistant! I know how frustrating it was trying to refersh it by hand and all I got was the error page! Then once I used the Check4Change addon and 12 tabs or so, I suddenly had 4 of them with the key! :D

Complete Instructions On How To Get A Key

Using firefox install this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3028

Now navigate to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/default.aspx. Click Log In at the top right corner and log in with your ms passport details.

Now copy the following text:
Code: 
https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/productkeys/win7-64/enus/default.aspx
(do not click the link)

paste this in to the technet tab.

when the busy message comes up highlight the following text:

The site is currently experiencing technical difficulties, please check back in the next business day.

right click that text and in the menu go to check4change click dynamic at the bottom






select custom put 5 seconds in the top box and be sure to check the box for "allow navigation away from this page", it's the last option and it will not be there if you don't select custom.

click OK






now you can repeat this in a few more tabs and then go and do whatever you need to do today

That is due to the key issued being tied to your windows live account. If you want another key just create another account and repeat :)

Download finishes at around 240Mb. &*%$£^&% Microsoft. :p

Did you use a download manager in FF?
