Hello!

I have a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF with sticker Windows 7 Pro CIS and GE HP X16-96122 on it. My HDD has broken.  I change HDD and want to install Windows but I don't have any restore disks. What shall I do?

Hi:

 

If you live in the USA/Canada, you can call HP at this number, 1-800-334-5144  and order a set of recovery disks.

 

An alternate option would be...This site claims to have genuine, unadulterated W7 ISO files for download...

 

https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-iso-download-tool

 

Click on the link labeled Windows ISO Downloader.exe

 

You can use either the:

 

Win 7 Pro SP1 or the (Retail version, but the  OEM key on your PC's case will work with it)

 

Win 7 Pro SP1 COEM (This version would be for what HP would have used--System Builder)

 

N is for European Union (EU) countries.

 

K is for South Korean markets.

 

Then you can use this tool to transfer the file to a 4 GB USB flash drive or a DVD.
