Thankfully, there are a couple of ways to download Windows 7 ISOs, legally and for free, either by using Torrents or a free app that provides links straight from Microsoft.
Many of us bought our copy of Windows 7 pre-installed with a new desktop or laptop PC. More often than not, though, the box didn't contain a full Windows 7 DVD.
Usually, we would get a 'recovery disk' or a recovery partition, to reinstate the operating system to its default settings. But this would also restore all the third-party bloatware and crapware the manufacturers include. Remember Superfish? It is also handy if we misplaced, lost, or destroyed our original disk. When we buy a copy of Windows 7, we don't get a special installation DVD.
Every DVD of a particular version - e. Windows 7 Home Premium x or Windows 7 Professional x64 - is identical to all the others. What we buy is the unique character product key. We will find it as a sticker on the retail Windows 7 DVD case. Or, with pre-installed Windows, stuck underneath our laptop and on the side of the PC tower.
With this product key, we can install Windows 7 using any disk of the corresponding version. We can even download Windows 7 as an ISO from the shadiest torrent site.
If our Windows 7 PC didn't have Windows preinstalled and doesn't have a sticker, we can use special applications to get the Windows 7 product key. Some apps will even work in cases where we can't boot into Windows, as long as the hard drive is functional. Even though it would work, downloading Windows 7 from questionable sources is never a good idea.

However, to download Windows 7 through this site, we need the product key of a store-bought, retail version of Windows.
So, as OEM owners, what are we supposed to do? Steal a disk? Beg friends and strangers for a Windows 7 DVD? According to Microsoft, we should order a physical replacement disk, wait a couple of weeks for the delivery, and pay the shipping and handling fees.
Not exactly an ideal solution. The good news is that whatever goes up on the Internet, never really goes away - for better or for worse. They have all the different English versions and even a few in other languages. To download Windows 7 using a torrent file, we will need a torrent client. In the example, we will be using the popular torrent client qBittorrent. So, if you already have a torrent client, you don't need to install qBittorrent.
With a correctly installed Torrent client, we just need to double-click on the torrent file, which will start the application and will ask us where to download the ISO file. Depending on our internet speed, and the available seeders, the ISO file should download in a few minutes.
As we mentioned earlier, downloading Windows 7 from questionable sources is never a good idea. Fortunately, Microsoft can help with that. We just need to visit this page, where we will find the relevant information for all the Windows 7 ISOs. We just need to look for the version we downloaded using the torrent file, and click on 'Details'. This app requires the. NET Framework 3. Apart from the.
