Win7 .iso question

[StefanWolves]

When Windows 7 first came out I purchased the pro version online and chose the .iso download instead of waiting for disc to be delivered, being the fool that I am I never bothered to burn it to disc and instead just used a virtual drive application (daemon tools) to install it. I put the .iso on my hard drive and yesterday I foolishly formatted that hard drive without checking what was on it before hand.

So now I am stuck with a Windows 7 Professional Key but don't have a disc or .iso to use it with.

Theres gotta be somehow that I can download the .iso again? either it be via Microsoft or from a Torrent/NZB website. I don't need a cracked version of Win7, I just need a clean untouched version that I can use my key with. I have searched but cannot find anything. :/

Can anyone help? thanks in advance... and +REP to whoever points me in the right direction first.

May I also add that I originally purchased the x86 version, but I will soon be getting a new system and will need it to operate the x64 version, will the x86 key I purchased work the x64? :/

The x86 key will work with x64. Also, we aren't allowed to link here so I'll leave that to someone else

Ok thank you. How come you can't link?

But people are allowed to post tutorials on how to pirate iPhone apps?? This isn't illegal either. I am asking for a LEGAL link. Not a cracked version if you read above.

I'm guessing you typed in Google "Windows 7 ISO download"? When I wiped my old PC which had a Windows 7 Pro 32-bit OS, I did the above and download the 64-bit version. It seems to be perfectly legal as you already have a product code and there doesn't appear to be any problems regarding the Terms of Service using a code that came with a 32-bit copy on a 64-bit copy. Note: "came with", you're not buying a 32-bit/64-bit code.

Thanks lew, can someone please point out to me how that is ILLEGAL? when the tutorial posted in the mobile section is a tutorial on how to PIRATE APPS?!?

It's not illegal, so Habbox and any other place cannot dictate/interpret the law in their own way. You're buying a product code to use with a version of an OS e.g. Windows 7. What the type of that version doesn't matter. If you weren't allowed to use the code on Windows 7 64-bit, they'de simply have different codes for 64-bit and 32-bit versions Also, Microsoft seem to not care, their forums are filled with the discussions

It's only illegal if they're cracked copies, or you're not going to use a legal product code.

Also, I think it's actually legal to unlock iPhones and/or apps. There was a law change in the US some time ago, if I remember correctly?

That's where people are confused. Jailbreaking IS NOT PIRATING APPS. Jailbreaking is opening the platform up which is LEGAL. However the tutorial posted is a tutorial on how to JAILBREAK AND THEN PIRATE APPS by using a program called INSTALLOUS. The jailbreak community does not even support INSTALLOUS cause it gives jailbreaking a bad name.

But no one is listening to me.
