My hard disk got crashed and I had to replace the hard disk. I had not created any recovery disks. How can I get recovery image for my laptop? The main thing is Windows 7 activation which came with my laptop. Please help. Thanks!

Hi:

 

Can you read all 25 characters of the W7 Home product key on your notebooks case?

 

If so, here is the link to the W7 Home Premium 64 bit ISO file download.  The link will be good for 24 hours from the time of this reply.

Use the Microsoft tool that I zipped up and attached below that you will need to transfer the ISO file to a USB flash drive so that it is bootable.  The file is too large to fit on a standard DVD.

 

You can also use a different free utility such as Rufus for this purpose.
