HP Z640

I bought used Z640 for my company. Condition: very good, two xeons, 64 RAM, nice but HDD formated, computer case label: OS WIN 8.1 PRO downgraded to WIN 7 PRO. Need to know latest OS version I could legally  download and how/where.

Regards, Papre

Hi:

 

You can legally download W8.1 Pro from the link below, since your PC has a product key in the BIOS for W8.1 Pro.

 

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO

 

You will need to transfer the ISO file to a DVD or USB flash drive so that it is bootable.

 

You can use any utility you want, but I have zipped up and attached the Microsoft tool below that will do that for you as well.
