Hi IT_winSec,

 

I am using Probook 6460b as well and need help to re-install the Windows 7 Pro.  I got the key number from the COA sticker.

 

May you instruct the method of this free method?

There is one another option which is not official and may not work but is free and you could try it if you are willing. It will work only if you have COA sticker attached to the PC and if it is readable. For your model it may be under the battery. Let me know if you are willing to try and I will post instructions

 

Thanks,

Brian

 Hi there,  

I got this error message when I tried to download OEM image.  It has limit on download.  May you help on the error?  OR any other place for the ISO?

 

there is another section for Windows 7 (Aug 2018)?  Can I download that one instead? What is the difference?
