Easiest is just downloading Microsofts Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool designed just for that purpose.

Just download Imgburn;

in order to get the image/iso
But surely you will be downloading an ISO/image - that's what we mostly download from Microsoft

The student offer isn't supplied by Microsoft, it comes from Digital River and uses an exe to perform an in-place upgrade. It's possible to create a bootable iso from the resulting files.

It's also possible to obtain a 64bit iso from Digital River, since an in-place upgrade won't allow 32bit to 64bit.

Cheers, that helped me a lot. It seems all sorted now.

Altho drivers might be an issue with my laptop, can vista drivers be used instead?

Win 7 has a huge built in database of drivers but normally Vista drivers will work.
