Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello, 

My computer crashed a while ago and I was able to copy everything for recovery but it also wiped out the window 7 operating system. Where will I find this to download? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi:

 

What version of W7 64 bit do you need, Home or Pro?

 

Do you have a product key you can use to activate Windows?

You're very welcome.

 

Here is the link to the W7 Home Premium 64-bit English (US) ISO file.

 

https://download.microsoft.com/download/E/A/8/EA804D86-C3DF-4719-9966-6A66C9306598/7601.24214.180801... 

 

The link will be good for 24 hours from the time of this reply.

 

You can 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, or you can use the free Rufus utility to do it.

The file is an August 2018 revision of the original file, so it is too large to fit on a standard 4.7 GB DVD.
