Hi:

 

If you can still read all 25 characters of the W7 prouduct key on your PC's case, you can make your own W7 installation media.

 

Click on the Windows ISO Downloader.exe link to download the tool to create the W7 ISO file download.

 

Select the Windows COEM ISO file download for the version of W7 the product key is good for.

I have zipped up and attached the Microsoft utility below, that will allow you to either put the file on a USB flash drive or DVD, or you can use a different free utility such as Rufus.

 

Then you can install the drivers and available software from the PC's support page...

Then an ISO file isn't going to help you if you can't read the W7 product key on the PC's case.

 

If you live in the USA/Canada, see if you can order a recovery kit for your specific model PC from this vendor at the link below.
