windows 7 home 64bit download

Skeptic · 1 Mar 2011 at 14:26

Hi guys,

Building my new pc today, have all the parts except for Windows 7. I have an oem copy of Windows 7 on the way its just not here yet.

Is there an evaluation copy or some way I can download the software, then just use my product key when it arrives to activate it?

Many thanks

Here are the official direct download links for the ISO images. If you install without entering a product key then you have 30 days to activate your copy (if I remember correctly) which you will be able to do once you receive your licence key.

OEM Product Keys may not work with those ISOs. I would just wait tbh.

there is no difference between OEM and retail disks other than the ei.cfg file. you can remove that using this.

When installing make sure that you install the version for which you have the key/serial - then its a smooth validation when you come to inserting the serial
