Windows 7 Reached End of Mainstream Support in January 2015. Extended Support lasts until January 2020. For more details see End of Support.
Your Windows 7 OEM or Retail License is eligible for a Free Upgrade to Windows 10 for more details see Windows OEM FAQs and Downloads.
For Dell Systems updated Dell Windows Pro 7 January 2016 Reinstallation .isos are recommended.
The Windows 7 November 2011 .isos from Microsoft are unbranded and can be used with any Windows 7 OEM or Retail License. For OEM Licenses one may skip the product key during installation to begin a 30 day trial and apply their manufacturers OEM SLP post installation to activate Windows 7. Microsoft’s software download page for Windows 7 is however unfortunately non-functional in most cases.
Jan Krohn’s Microsoft Windows and Office .iso Downloader Tool is a utility that essentially fixed the flawed user interface of Microsoft’s software download page allowing the generation of proper download links.
Note the installation media created in this guide will be multi-edition including Starter (32 Bit only), Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate and work with all OEM and Retail licenses:
For Windows 7 – English UK and English US are the same “Language”.
The time and currency format and keyboard or input method can be selected for English UK (International English) or English US respectively:
The Microsoft Windows and Microsoft .iso Downloader Tool generates direct download links from Microsoft’s servers. It doesn’t check whether the .iso you downloaded is complete or not.
For the English .isos the file size is 2,504,372 KB for Windows 7 32 Bit and 3,243,070 KB for Windows 7 64 Bit.
The checksums can be checked with Rufus (which we will use later to make the Bootable USB):
Rufus doesn’t need to be installed. Launch Rufus:
Accept the User Account Control:
Select “Select”:
Select your installation .iso and select open:
Select the tick:
Rufus will now compute the .iso checksums:
Just use the MD5. For an English .iso on this page press [Ctrl] and [ f ] and paste the checksums. Ensure that they match one of the values below:
If there is no match your .iso is unique and thus corrupt. For other languages a google search should suffice to make sure you have a non-unique .iso.

Note Windows 7 Starter is OEM only and hence not found as a Retail .iso. It is unknown why there is a 64 Bit and 32 Bit Commerical OEM .iso and only a 32 Bit Retail .iso for Windows 7 Home Basic. This Edition is pretty much OEM only however.
Sony Vaio Download Windows 7
Power down your Dell and then power up and Press [F12]. For non-Dells you may have to use [Esc] or another Function key [F1-F12]. This will take you to your systems Boot Menu.
If it mentions at the top “Boot Mode” then you have a UEFI BIOS. For Windows 7 Installation:
For details in Enabling these settings see Unified Extensive Firmware Interface (UEFI).
If it doesn’t mention at the top “Boot Mode” then you have an older system with a Legacy BIOS.
Note all the data will be lost on your USB Flash Drive when you create a Windows 7 Bootable USB.
Insert a 8-32 GB USB Flash Drive, it’ll display under Device. If you have multiple USB flash drives attached ensure you select the correct device.
The Partition Scheme: Windows 7 64 Bit (2012-2016 Computer)
If you are installing Windows 7 64 Bit, the default settings will use the GPT Partition Scheme. GPT has the advantage that it contains multiple Boot Records opposed to a Single Boot Record, can support many more partitions (128 versus 4) and can work with larger drives (>2 TB). The Target System, File System and Cluster Size will be updated correspondingly.
It is advised to change the Partition Scheme from FAT32 to NTFS. FAT32 has the advantage that it can pass through Secure Boot, which Windows 7 cannot do anyway. NTFS can support file sizes >4 GB and your install.wim may be >4 GB if you follow my instructions to perform a slipstream.
The Partition Scheme: Windows 7 64 Bit (2007-2011 Computers) and Windows 7 32 Bit (2007-2016 Computers)
For earlier computers that don’t possess a UEFI BIOS you have have to change GPT to MBR. The Target System, File System and Cluster Size will be updated correspondingly. If you are using a Windows 7 32 Bit installation .iso you also have to use MBR but this will be automatically selected:
Creating the Bootable USB
Change the volume label to something more sensible like “Win7x64”: Age of empires 3 disk 1 iso download windows 7.
Select “Start”:
You will get a warning about formatting your USB, select OK to proceed:
Rufus will make the Bootable USB:
When done it will say Ready at the bottom. Press close to close Rufus:
The installation ISOs from Microsoft are unfortunately from 2011 and do not have support for USB 3.0 or many storage controllers. If you try and use it with hardware with these technologies you may get stuck here with a non-responsive keyboard or mouse:
Or alternatively here and get:
“A required CDDVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disc, CD, DVD, or USB flash Drive, please insert it now. Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step.”
Moreover if you use a NVMe SSD you will get a constant BSOD after installation.
Windows 7 Update and Driver Slipstream Script
With Windows 7 Installation Media being from 2011, in addition to the driver support issues mentioned above, the time it takes to patch a Windows 7 install can take 2-3 times as long as the installation process of Windows 7 itself. I have made a Windows 7 Slipstream Script which slipstreams the Convenience Rollup and it’s perquisite updates, Internet Explorer 11 and it’s perquisite updates, the NVMe Hotfixes, Intel USB 3.0 Drivers, Intel F6 Storage Controllers and the latest Security Rollup for Windows 7 see Slipstreaming Windows 7. I have made the slipstreaming guide as easy to follow as possible but it is still fairly advanced and the alternative solution “Adding USB Drivers Using the Gigabyte Windows USB Tool” and then manually installing the Updates can be used instead (see below).
Adding USB Drivers Using the Gigabyte Windows USB Tool
To make your Bootable USB usable on up to 6th Generation Intel Skylake hardware you’ll need to add drivers to the Bootable USB.
The Windows USB Installation Tool by Gigabyte adds USB 3.0 drivers and storage controller drivers for Intel and Samsung NVMe SSDs as well as associated hotfixes. It may be found here:
Scroll down until you find it:
Alternatively press [Ctrl] and [ f ] and search for Windows USB Installation Tool.
Download the tool and extract it:
To launch the utility double click the WindowsImageTool.exe and accept the User Account Control:
Check the three boxes to add the drivers:
Leave the Source Path as “None – Add USB Drivers” and change the Destination Path to your Windows 7 Bootable USB Flash Drive:
Select Start:
The tool will mount each index of your boot.wim file, add the drivers and then commit the changes. It’ll repeat the process for the install.wim file:
For a Bootable USB made from a English Windows 7 64 Bit .iso Downloaded Directly from Microsoft.
The process took about 16 minutes in my test.
The boot.wim found in the sources folder of the USB was updated from 160 MB to 189 MB.
The install.wim found in the sources folder of the USB was updated from 2.75 GB to 2.88 GB.
The ei.cfg should be deleted after the Bootable USB is made to allow installation of all Editions of Windows 7 for a Corresponding Architecture.
4) Click the torrent download link of any ebooks that you want. Collecting listings of free Kindle books that appear on Amazon and you can pick them up at. Jun 15, 2015 - You commit a form of theft, unless the publisher has decided to offer the book for free. Since authors and publishers' staff are almost always poor folks, this is.
Open up the USB in Windows Explorer go to the sources folder and look for ei.cfg and delete it.
During installation you will get the option to install your desired Edition of Windows 7:
It is highly advised to create an Updates folder on your Bootable USB and to download and place the following updates in it. Also make a text file in this folder and copy the information below so you know what order to install the updates in. Installing these updates immediately after Windows 7 will save you Windows Update hassles due to your installation media being >7 years out of date and embedded with Internet Explorer 8 which is no longer supported.

If you are using a system with an OEM License (including OEM Downgrade Rights from Windows 8.x Pro and Windows 10 Pro) on a computer manufacturered by a major OEM such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Compaq, Gateway, Packard, Fujitsu, IBM, MSI, Samsung, Sony or Toshiba you are best to install Windows 7 without a Product Key and activate post installation using OEM System Locked Preinstallation – the same BIOS based Product Activation mechanism of factory settings. Doing so will save you from having to call Microsoft to activate by phone.
I have put together the OEM Cert Collection along with an associated 2 line script to install the Cert and Apply the associated OEM SLP Key. After Installation copy the OEM folder containing the cert and OEM SLP key to your C: Drive and then run the script file.
It is available as a .zip file here.
To install Windows 7 see Windows 7 Installation in a UEFI BIOS or Legacy BIOS.
Previously there were European Commission N Editions of Windows 7. These are slightly less functional Editions of Windows 7 created because the European Commission didn’t approve of Microsoft bundling Windows Media Player and Windows Media Centre in Windows 7. However like the European Commission they are extremely unpopular especially in the Anglosphere. The Windows iso Downloader no longer seems to list N Editions however in the off-chance they are shown you should avoid them as your Product Key is unlikely to work with them.

The European Commission is now wasting time with Article 13 trying to break the Internet a bit like Windows Vista and extreme User Account Control:
