If you look you can get the windows 7 isos from microsofts' servers (or in this case their distribution network through digital river). These have worked for my OEM licenses, XP though I remember you needed to use the disk with the correct service pack to install with your software key. (A sp1 key wouldn't work with a sp2 disk and vica versa.)

Links? I'd definitely be interested in this seeing as how I just bought a Lenovo and want to wipe it.

  google: windows 7 iso (first result) (mydigitallife) The links that say msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent are the same as when you buy online (at least when I bought my win 7 professional license for my desktop the iso linked is the same as the one I downloaded). Those are probably the only ones I would trust, make sure you are indeed going to digitalrivercontent website, download appropriate language and version/arch (prof, home prem 64 or 32)

    Does this still apply? http://www.windowsvalley.com/unlock-all-editions-from-windows-7-iso-image-x86-and-x64/ http://www.windowsvalley.com/unlock-all-editions-from-window... To get all editions- 4. Just delete the file and finally create the bootable ISO and burn your unlocked disc.

      Yes, that should work.

    I believe the links on that page (also cited by a few other pages I encountered) are pre-SP1. Does anyone know of comparable links for ISO's that have SP1 incorporated (which is what I assume is now shipping with new PC's). In my case, I'm in the position of occasionally needing to support others who have e.g. Win 7 (most recently, actually, someone with Vista). Sometimes, it's simplest to simply back up their data and re-install. But I may need to supply an installation disk; even if they have one, part of the solution may be installing from a disk minus all the crapware. I don't do this work regularly, so I'm not part of a community that's constantly, physically swapping disks and utilities and whatnot.
